'I'm prepared to help my daughter die'

Three years ago, Debby Thornton's daughter Jennie, 33, shocked her with the news that she wanted to end her life at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.

Jennie suffers from the terminal disease Cystic Fibrosis, and struggling with her parental pull to relieve her daughter's suffering, Debby has agreed to help Jennie die, by any means necessary.

Jenny and Debbie join us now to discuss their heartbreaking decision, and why Jennie should have the right to die when and how she chooses.
