For those against this. Think about a person in terrible pain, who wants it to end, but that person is simply not allowed to end their suffering, and is compelled to suffer on. How can that be a humane approach?
I believe in assist in dying. We should have control over our lives and bodies. My Dad was 92 when he used the program in Canada. At first I was alarmed by his choice. He couldn’t get off the bed never mind move his sheets around his body. He couldn’t talk. He didn’t want to lay there to be a vegetable. At the mercy of others. The more I took it into consideration I realized his life, is not my life. That I didn’t own his experience. He lived a very full life. His way. He wanted to die with dignity and he did. It was the right thing for him. I would want the same choice for myself.
I was a Marie Curie nurse and sickened by the people refusing to allow the dying to die how they want, in the UK with dignity. If people dont like the idea of euthanasia….then dont have euthanasia, dont take others choice away!
I fully agree with Carola's comments. I have lost 2 people whom I loved deeply to cancer, and in both instances they went through immense suffering that was devastating to watch and left them totally devoid of dignity. I believe that people in such circumstances should be given the right to decide for themselves whether they let the disease take its course or end their life at the time of their choosing. I wonder what the opponents would choose were they in similar circumstances? We none of us can determine whether or not another's life is worth living or maintaining at any cost.
What we have to remember is that, when the question of assisted dying is even a thought, it will be an individual case. My wifes current circumstances are not the same as someone with a similar condition, therefore the choices will be different. The condition/disease may be the same, but the situation will not.
If you don't want help ending your suffering then don't. If you do want help ending your suffering then ensure there are safeguards. What's that saying? My body, my choice.
I don't agree with assisting in dying, purely I care to protect vulnerable people in a dystopian world where convenience may become more priority than conditions.
The proposal is a terminal diagnosis of 6 months to live. The problem is the majority campaigning for an assisted dying law do so on the basis of degenerative illnesses that are not terminal. Someone can live for 20 years with advanced Alzheimer's.
@@captainbadger1013 I couldn't imagine putting a loved one through 20 years of caring for me if I had advanced Alzheimer's. I'd want to go for that reason alone.
Keir Starmer gave this Bill only 5 HOURS for this Bill to be debated, it is far too complex for this limited time, a thorough debate including medical experts in palliative care should have been ‘Properly’ enlisted and listened to!
I think the point at this stage is to gauge how people feel about it, then devote more time if needed before anything is actually implemented or proposed.
I make mince meat pie from scratch. With meat. Mince beef & salt pork, mix with spice, fruits, and brandy. Steep for 3 - 5 days in fridge. Really, really tasty.
Happened to me and my sister my mum sold her house for 225k moved into a care home she died last month only 26K left in her account this can't be right can it, !!
No, it wasn't right ! You should have looked after her yourself. What is it with British people and abandoning their responsibility for their old folk.
I think assisted dying would need safeguards in place to ensure that those making the choice have made an informed choice and aren't being taken advantage of by family members/heirs who would like them out of the way so that they can cash in I'm not against the idea in general though. If people are in so much pain or their quality of life has been destroyed so much due to ill health that they want to bring it to an end, then I think they should have that right and there should be systems in place that allow them to do so in as dignified a manner as possible
In my limited experience, the knowledge that you can, when it gets too much, cut short the end on your own terms, takes away one level of fear and frees you to enjoy what time you can. It returns agency when all other means of agency have been taken away. This is legislation for those who are well beyond hope. Mixing up the hastening of a painful and imminent death of a dying patient with people who want assisted suicide to end a life they find intolerable for social reasons - and then extending it further to killing those whose lives others consider useless - is a different discussion, in which arguments about how your choice of death hurts my idea of what life is or should be may have a place. This is turning into a discussion about how those who aren't dying might suffer if we legislate for those who are. It is possible to legislate one law for the dying and legislate a different law for the living.
Wdym ‘acceptable’ You wouldn’t just rock up to A&E and ask to he off’d and have it down within, well I’d say the hour but with the state of the nhs…,have it done that day
Let us all be honest here. We know what the future holds. As automation/AI become more common all of those of us who are working class or worse will be of less value to society and the s-word will become more accepted in societies. And I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing. This legislation is just a step in a direction that we are already heading.

@@stephfoxwell4620how is it?
We have courts if you want euthanasia go to court and argue the case there. Safeguards are not protection.
What we have to remember is that, when the question of assisted dying is even a thought, it will be an individual case. My wifes current circumstances are not the same as someone with a similar condition, therefore the choices will be different. The condition/disease may be the same, but the situation will not.

I'm assuming you'd need to be terminally sick or in a terrible amount of pain to qualify!? Not just a worried pensioner.
