Commenting on the death of Sir Ludovic Kennedy, the Chief Executive of Dignity in Dying, Sarah Wootton, said:

“Dignity in Dying was saddened to hear of the death of Sir Ludovic Kennedy. He was a passionate advocate of assisted dying for terminally ill people, whose compassion and vigorous intellect were an asset to the organisation. As a former President, he helped to lay the foundation for the recent successes of the campaign, with the Director of Public Prosecutions now formally recognising a difference between compassionate and malicious behaviour, and the change in the law which will inevitably come.”
