True assisted dying is what hospices do; with care, compassion and palliative care. To have hundreds of beds out of use and to have state assisted suicide as a replacement is a dark moment for our country. bbc.com/news/articles/…

It's just a farce. Say one thing to get past second reading. Then drop the safeguard that got you over the line. Is a panel predisposed towards assisted dying an equivalent safeguard to the courts? Same 'capacity' concern used in US to remove a doctor from process 1/

How much sinister will this need to get before MPs realise how dangerous it is? Truly terrifying stuff.

I’m pleased to put my name to this statement on the #AssistedDyingbill and the process to date.

We need Bills to assist and help people to live - not a conveyor belt to the cemetery. Tanni Grey-Thompson Liz "blue tick" Carr Baroness J Campbell Rosa Monckton @dann__kruger Frank Cottrell-Boyce

Committee has just voted against doctors having explicit duty to consider undue influence or whether there has been encouragement to end one’s life in this way

We do not consider the views of people with Down syndrome and their families to be ‘noise’. Read our open letter about assisted dying, which outlines the concerns of 61 groups representing the interests of disabled people, here: ndspg.org/wp-content/upl…

New Scottish Research finds: “Down’s syndrome was the most commonly recorded cause of death for adults with learning disabilities. This suggests that there is prevailing uncertainty about underlying causes of death among this population” news.stv.tv/west-central/y…

Less than 10% of written evidence supports the #assisteddyingbill, unlike cherry-picked oral evidence. Please don't dismiss this as #NOISE, Kim Leadbeater MBE MP. Please hear doctors, nurses, disability rights activists, academics. Please listen. Sonia dhamelin Antonia Bance MP Liz "blue tick" Carr

No active treatment or research is active in the UK for Down Syndrome Regression (DSRD) “UK needs to act in line with the United States where active research, trials and treatments are ongoing & seeing success rates.” Please sign this petition to help chng.it/k7hYTzcf2P

The amendment states that the panel doesn’t have to meet the patient. Not even online. So how exactly is the psychiatrist going to verify capacity? And how exactly is the social worker going to verify absence of coercion? Are the 50 signatories aware of this?

The Committee has rejected another crucial #AssistedDying Bill amendment to protect individuals with Down syndrome. All proposals to safeguard those with LD, autism, & Down syndrome have been dismissed. We have been excluded from the process & our voices are being ignored.

“Getting this Bill right to ensure that those with Down Syndrome are properly protected could not be more important. As it stands, the Leadbeater Bill does not adequately protect those with Down syndrome. They’re particularly at risk.” The Independent independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
