Shameful. But they are right that #euthanasia is the solution for those with disabilities in Canada and elsewhere #euthanasia and #assistedsuicide are legal.

"There’s something sad about the idea that the only way we can help [make] dying better is to be dead." What a thoughtful, warm and honest discussion with Kathryn Mannix. Neutral on #assistedsuicide, she has much to teach both sides of the debate. ft.com/content/1a43d5…

"More Canadians have been euthanized by doctors & nurses in hospitals, homes, & even our national parks since 2016 than the total number of Canadians who died during the entire Covid pandemic to date. And, that’s according to the federal Gov's own stats." gript.ie/the-people-lif…

Priorities in Scotland: 1. Present a bill for the state to provide assisted deaths. 2. Then propose a bill making better palliative care a right. Isn't that the wrong way round?

Jonathan Dimbleby arguing more against than for legalization of #assistedsuicide and #euthanasia. He would fight "tooth and nail" against it for those with incapacitating or debillitating disease. But that's what's proposed in Jersey, Scotland. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/a…

It's also what has happened in every nation to legalize #assistedsuicide outside US. Once killing is defined as medical treatment for suffering, how can we deny it to anyone who "needs" it? Think again, Jonathan Dimbleby

Cautionary words from Canada re #assistedsuicide and #euthanasia. 'One nurse came to my bedside ...and asked me "to do the right thing and consider MAiD." Her next words still ring through my head... "if I were you, I would take it in a heartbeat. You're not living, you're

"the problem with assisted dying is not the principle, but the practice. The reality is far more complex than has been presented."

One of the interesting unintended consequences of legalized #euthanasia and #assistedsuicide is that if it is regarded as medical therapy, how can anything else patients request - such as magic mushrooms or cutting off limbs - be off-limits?dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

It's clear that a massive, mysteriously-funded, assisted suicide lobbying campaign is taking place across Europe. Assisted suicide is part of a wider shift away from human rights and towards the disposability of humans. Resist it!

Quote.. Canada has faced criticism for its ultra-permissive euthanasia system, it faces fresh outrage from woefully sick people who say it's easier to get lethal injections than it is to access the 'medicine they need. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

"After a few laughs and a glass of champagne, and with his family by his side, Liz's brother Rob hung himself." Society is in danger of romanticising and normalising suicide by pretending that poisoning oneself to death is something else. #assistedsuicide #euthanasia

How many incorrect deaths is acceptable for society? (Incorrect diagnosis, prognosis, coercion, pressure, mental health?etc etc) this is the fundamental question!

Bad deaths are often claimed to have happened despite the 'best palliative care' when in reality they could not access specialist palliative care. In the UK over 300/day can't access the specialist palliative care they desperately need. That is the priority, not #AssistedDying

The mask of "assisted dying" soon slips when a regime of #assistedsuicide or #euthanasia is in place. dailytelegraph.co.nz/world/belgian-…

It would be an eccentric decision - to say the least - to dedicate a private member's bill to #assistedsuicide which is so low on the list of the priorities of voters.
