“Her mum did not deserve poor care, communication or coordination. The question is whether inadequate health and social care is a reason for legalising assisted dying.” #Palliativecare doctors writing in the Guardian. theguardian.com/society/2023/a… #assistedsuicide

The French parliament may be considering assisted dying, but ..organisations representing 800,000 healthcare staff are clear that, if legalised, it should be outside of healthcare sfap.org/system/files/a…

The #assisteddying (aka #assistedsuicide) proposals in the UK may look reasonable on the surface, but legalisation would change doctors into executioners, diminish the lives of disabled people, and expand eligible categories beyond terminal illness. #Thinkagain

Young man testifies, as others did before Parl Cttee about how he's now fine, but would've been dead if open MAID was legal when he was struggling.... It profoundly angers me: parliamentarians who push for open MAID should have the guts to tell in their face 'we do not care'
