They Shoot Horses, don't they?

[blup]

no it just means Keir Starmer is not declaring which side he is on as he doesnt want to influence the voting

I wish he'd followed that mantra when he leant on the Speaker

 

[blup]

please could you explain why its a random figure

the purpose is to allow assisted dying only for those who are terminally ill............if you dont set a date then we are all terminally ill as we all will die one day

What difference is there in principle between somebody having two years to live and six months, or someone with a mental or physical disability that is life limiting? Who is tne government to tell someone when they can die?

End of life care following established medical pathways is not the same as applying for permission to commit suicide

No. Either you agree with assisted dying, extra large dose of morphine, or you don't.

At the stage the doctor uses the extra large dose, the patient is likely to have no choice at all. Before that they have all the choice they want

When will the government tell someone that ?

Emotive, and wrong !

 

[blup]

no not one something which is apolitical

Everything is political, but to suggest state control of death is not political, is preposterous

thats a lie

Lyndsay was leaned on and didn't have the courage to stand up to the implied threats from his political colleagues.

that is not true

Lets see.

try to avoid emotive language it adds nothing to the debate

Its an inherently emotive issue which has been slipped through by an opportunist in the Lords playing on peoples fears by offering a state solution.

An over simplistic analysis typical of the pro death debate

At sixth months

 

[carmanmemoranda]

At sixth months

No. The government won't tell anyone they have to have assisted dying

Keep to facts please

Not at all

It's assisted dying, whether you like it or not.

It's for the benefit of everyone involved too.

Surely you can understand Blub's point? Why are you trying to twist it?

I'm not twisting anything.

Trying to say the government will insist on assisted dying is twisting things
