Headline: Miriam Margolyes talks assisted death: 'I would ask to be put down'

Caption:

The Harry Potter star told the Daily Mail "I don't want to go through a slowly diminishing period of pain and embarrassment. If a stroke meant I couldn't speak, or I was doubly incontinent, or I lost my mind completely, I would ask to be put down. That's because I want to be who I am. I don't want to be less than I can be." Margoyles' remarks come three months after she told The Mirror that she is aware she doesn't have long to live.
