They Shoot Horses, don't they?

It could but not how it’s currently written. I would like the high court element removed unless there are objections and I would like the diagnosis extended to 12 months. Otherwise this bill delivers nothing that cannot be achieved with palliative care.

yes I agree, we could end up with somebody wanting a peaceful, dignified death having the stress of months of legal wrangling.

If we end up with a law that means approval happens after somebody has died, we've gone backwards not forwards

Indeed

and neither is the assisted dying bill "suicide"

suicide the act of taking your own life. Assisting, anything you do to help or encourage, irrelevant of whether it is helpful or not.

Suicide Act 1961

An Act to amend the law of England and Wales relating to suicide, and for purposes connected therewith.

You don’t know that.

I think Abott was spot on

Either you agree it's assisted dying or you are trying to suggest it's something else ?

Ending life is not the same as end of life care

Back to the, what is an extra large dose of morphine if it is not assisted dying ?

And what is wrong with having that choice ?

I don't know why that is ok, but choosing it yourself isn't.

I don't know why that is ok, but choosing it yourself isn't.

Nor me.

And until somebody that supports it being allowed can't explain why choosing it yourself is wrong , then they have a very poor reasoning.

agree, once you decipher what she was trying to say.

It is very odd. There are dozens of ways to end your life reasonably painlessly, with non-prescription methods. I'm not going to say how.

At the same time a hospice GP, can give you sedatives, pain relief various drugs to minimise suffering. So in many regard this law seems pointlessly complex.
