Some of you will have seen the TV programme that Prue Leith and her son made earlier this year, looking at the pros and cons of assisted dying.
Prue has written a letter to call on party leaders for a national debate on assisted dying. Here is the link if you would like to sign it:

I have sent a monthly direct debit contribution to Dignity in Dying for more than twenty years, ( changed its name slightly at one point).

Assisted dying will happen in every civilised country very soon now.

No I havent signed. My concerns are around the vulnerable in society, if you look at what happened to people with learning disabilities in the pandemic for example, I am worried for the implications for groups who are frequently treated as lesser within a medical setting.

The petition is asking for an urgent debate to take place Galaxy, where people with all opinions would be able to have their say. I know it's a topic that is very emotive. Personally I am in favour of assisted dying, but would, of course, want strict safeguards to be in place.
