Our world has changed forever - assisted dying bill

I know opinions vary on this, but I no longer feel safe. The assisted dying bill has passed. I'm a proponent of governments funding hospice care instead but it's too late now. I know quite a bit about hospices and if they had funding, it's extremely rare for anyone to have uncontrollable pain or suffering.

Being quite disabled at the moment makes me feel extremely vulnerable.

Good care would have been the exception, had we ever encountered it, rather than the rule, for the whole last few years of my daughter's life, I'm afraid.

This isn't law; there is a long way to go yet.

It would be an excellent subject for Citizens Juries where we might find what we agree on.
