5/ So, Thankyou, David Seymour, (words I never thought I’d write!) for shepherding this through Parliament and the referendum so my friend could die painlessly once he’d had enough.
Ka kite ano, e hoa.
Kua hinga te tōtara o Te Waonui a Tāne!

4/ My friend died with dignity, and, because he was a totally selfless bastard, arranged it with Organ Donation New Zealand to have an organ donation surgical team on standby for the moment he died. Four people have had their lives transformed by his generosity at the end of his life.

3/ I have always agreed with assisted dying in principle, even though I don’t want anything to do with administering it as a doctor. Today has completely cemented for me, that we are very lucky here in Aotearoa to have this available after the referendum a few years ago.

2/ Critically, Pete died at a time of his choosing. Not choking to death because his bulbar nerves had got too weak for him to cough or swallow, or suffocating because he was too weak to breathe. Instead he got to die surrounded by friends, with dignity, on his own terms.

So I normally don’t use Bsky for anything other than hobby escapism. And especially I don’t do politics or talk about my work. But tonight I’m going to make an exception.
We buried my friend Pete today. He was 44, and had had Motor Neuron Disease. He died a couple of weeks ago…

Well, this is a big deal for someone with such hobby magpie tendencies, 2000 points of Necrons finished at long last!
