“Now is the time for a Parliamentary inquiry into this critical life choice: whether to allow safe, compassionate assisted dying for terminally ill adults in pain”
@MattHancock and a growing number of MPs know that now is the time for a fresh look at assisted dying.
A powerful letter from retired District Nurse Pauline.
"A disservice not only to dying Britons who suffer under a law that is dangerous and cruel, but also to our democracy by curtailing the debate of an issue which 84% of the general public support."
"No professional should be obliged to participate in assisted dying. But doctors who oppose it should not stand in the way of colleagues who find it ethically justifiable to assist a dying patient’s death" @fgodlee@rich_hurley@tessajlrichards https://t.co/I1TEqjR2XA
#EndOfLife care should not simply be about prolonging a painful death | @pollytoynbee
“For decades, public opinion has backed the right to #AssistedDying. The great majority want the right to end their own lives at a time of their choosing.”

@LauraCulver9 @MaryLTrump Why would you rather take your chances with a virus that could kill you/leave you with long term damage than with a vaccine that might have a few temporary, and usually mild, side effects? (I had the virus, am now twice vaccinated - much less traumatic than the actual disease).
@Keidi_Keating I've had the virus - a mild-ish form, but it lasted seven weeks and I still have residual symptoms. I'm fit and healthy, by the way.
I've had the vaccine because I do NOT want it again. My best friend is in a wheelchair because of it. I consider anti-vaxxers selfish & uninformed.
