Heavy on that very last part. Assisted dying will never be ethical unless people are being supported to LIVE, first and foremost. Instead, they want to strip away financial support for disabled and terminally ill people

It literally feels like the government is trying to delete us sick and disabled people instead of helping us out

I am usually very much on the same page as you Femi, but on this one I have to disagree. Having watched two terminally ill relatives die from cancer, I think choice and bodily autonomy at the end is so important. That said, we as a public need to stay vigilant on any further progressions of this bill

femi i nearly always agree with you but we can trust our doctors with this. two practitioners must declare that the person is in the last 6 months of their life. they must also have capacity to consent to ending their life. its about choice. I do think that passing this bill has created an education need (re: mental capacity, consent and palliative care) and that should be funded and resourced appropriately

Do you think forcing the poorer in society to suffer a painful death when rich people can go to another country is any better? I understand the point you’re making, but we cannot hold off forcing people to suffer, until we get this country fixed - particularly when there is no sign that this is getting better any time soon.

So it would be better if those poor people went on suffering for 6 months even if they want it to end? Very progressive

I agree with you that a well functioning society should allow everyone to live their best lives and the wealth gap in health standards with a nationalised health service is completely unacceptable but people who are suffering right at the very end of their lives shouldn't be made to endure the pain and embarrassment of dying slowly in palative care if they don't want to, I see it as a win for personal freedoms, some of the stories that Kim Leadbeater was reciting when the bill was first brought forward were terrifying.

I don't understand this take, especially the "end things when life becomes unbearable"...that's definitely NOT how this pathway will be implemented. It's only for the TERMINALLY ILL with a life expectancy of less than 6 months. Why is the alarm bell ringing for people with disabilities??

this definitely makes me look at it differently. I agreed with it for terminal conditions , especially after I seen my nan suffer so terribly

As someone with ms, i welcome this. i don't want to live unable to move or do anything for myself. We don't let animals suffer so why should humans have to

now Femi you must know more than I, but I was under the impression that you had to be terminal to gain access.

What got me is them literally talking about the benefits: instead actually talking about sensible things, they instead talk about how much money this will save them 😐

You're absolutely spot on Femi! Was taken aback when this went through.....many years ago I'd say I was more in favour of this bill, but the tides have turned dramatically for many since covid...and not in a positive way. I think many vulnerable people will not be given the chance to a better life - and ending it will become the only option for them with very little kick back to help them live better lives.

What I see is this: Poor people's life expectancy is shorter but they should suffer during the last days of their lives languishing in a hospice full of pain and horror. The rich has a better life expectancy, but eventually they will die. When the time comes the rich can afford to travel to Switzerland 🇨🇭 and have a peaceful death, surrounded by family causing less trauma. Passing the law or not, those with money will always have more freedom and comfort from birth to death than the rest of us. The question is, if the bill doesn't pass, when we end un terminally ill our quality of life and death of will improve?

In isolation, I back dying with dignity. However in context of the big picture at the moment - I’m concerned about the state manufacturing conditions to ensure the most vulnerable are targeted. It feels very 1930’s.
