Assisted dying bill

It is fascinating that it seems fine for certain religions to be used as a slur. I am against this bill and left the labour party because of it, the main reason being my concern for the vulnerable but one of the other reasons was the intolerance of many of its supporters.

For those who are simply left to die an agonising death when no amount of pain relief covers what they are having to LIVE with, in my opinion, is barbaric and heartless.

If a person must be over the age of 18 to use this method, how are parents going to answer questions about this from children? And why would a society let children die in horrible pain but not elderly. Now I'm confused.

Yes, Keepingquiet. That should not be allowed. It would have to be a self administered method.

If someone doesn't want to live, they should be allowed to peacefully end their life. Nobody else's business.

It is if someone else has to end their life...

Catholic pro life .... says everything

The latest wording of the bill:

For the purposes of this Act, a person is terminally ill if—
(a) the person has an inevitably progressive illness or disease which cannot
be reversed by treatment, and
(b) the person's death in consequence of that illness or disease can 5
reasonably be expected within six months.

How does this equate to "sweeping inclusion of those not at end of life stage"? Serious question to the OP.

I don’t think this is an awful bill at all. The vast majority of the population have consistently agreed they want this choice.
It has not been rushed.

This bill is not being rushed through. It is being thoroughly scrutinised and debated. What other reasons do you have for wanting it to be stopped, Winefride17?

In what way is this bill being rushed through?
