Tony Marra

Tony Marra is the brother of Paola Marra, a prominent assisted dying campaigner who died at Dignitas in Switzerland on March 20, 2022, at the age of 53. Paola Marra documented her journey to Dignitas, advocating for a change in the UK's laws on assisted dying. Tony Marra is newsworthy because the second anniversary of his sister's death coincides with the stalling of the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill in the House of Lords. He recently participated in a protest outside parliament, along with terminally ill and bereaved individuals, to advocate for the passage of the assisted dying bill. His sister's case and his advocacy highlight the ongoing debate and urgency surrounding assisted dying legislation in the UK.
