chronicallyesther :
we are against assisted dying because right now we barely have assisted living.

It’s about giving the choice, if they don’t want to use it, THEY DON’T HAVE TOO.

clemmie :
i think a lot of people are missing the point that it’s not about the concept but the wording of the bill😭 there aren’t nearly enough safeguards to make it 100% legitimate

Assisted dying has nothing to do with them btw. It’s used if there are six months or less left to live, the person has to be on hospice.

I have chronic illness and I'm for choice. it should always be highly regulated but it should be an option to peacefully leave.

none of them would be affected or even pass for it we are talking about people who are unable to leave their room or leave their bed due to serious illness and need 24 hour care

Assisted dying is pro choice. You don’t have to want it for yourself, but the process of choosing for others because it’s their body

misha :
as a disabled person I fully agree with them. its not a choice if they theres no other option than dying and it will also allow the government to take away funding from a lot of disabled people cause they can "choose" to die instead

Rose :
I thought it was only for people who were at the end their lives, age or disability wise, has it expanded beyond that and to be an option for just anyone?

Sparrows And Stardust :
some people want to die. why should we tell them no? don't they have the right to make that choice? some people spend their whole lives suffering, and with no end in sight why do WE have the right to tell them they have to keep suffering

Sam :
No you can easily separate those arguments. My right to end my life or have it ended is irrelevant to any suggested costs I have to society, this is a fundamental right all humans must have

why are they striking against assisted killing specifically and not the politicians who make life hard for them to lead to that point? Get ride of assisted dying the problem that causes it will still exist.Why not just nip it by the route

Why would anyone vote against someone else’s choice 😭…. The fact people believe in religion and make decisions like this based on it is an absolute joke in 2026 😭

before you offer me the choice to die, could you please offer me the choice to live?

teigan 🏳️⚧️ :
Because this will be offered and pushed as a cheaper alternative to care for elderly and disabled. It’s not a choice to have dignity, hospice already exists. There can be no choice until the needs of the living are met, they are already being chosen for by being denied care.
