Neighbours star Ian Smith says he’s ‘glad’ he decided to abandon voluntary assisted dying plan
Neighbours actor Ian Smith, who portrayed Harold Bishop for 37 years, revealed he abandoned his plans for voluntary assisted dying (VAD) after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Initially applying for VAD, he changed his mind when the pharmacist arranged to deliver the drugs for home use. Smith, who supports VAD but opposes home storage of the drugs, expressed relief as his cancer treatment later showed improvement. He highlighted how his decision allowed him to experience this positive outcome. The article also notes ongoing UK discussions on legalizing assisted dying, with advocates emphasizing patient dignity.
