Right to die with dignity

[erebus]

Assisted death is part of government policy, as in a cold snap an EXTRA 30-35 thousand old, ill, frail, or just POOR people die, and with 5 million children undernourished right now seems like many more are being assisted.

 

On the other hand one can be assisted in a care home, where profit means little care, and they are assisted to quicken their journey into the crematorium which some feel helps the economy.

 

One could argue that smokers are also assisting their own death as we all know that its the pesticides, fungicides and herbicides used to grow the stuff that assists death, when constantly inhaled over years.

 

So this and all governments assist death already, and let us not forget the famous pathway to death in hospitals, where people were cut off from medication, drink and food, and helped give the4 pathologists a heavier workload before helping the cremation business. If only those NAZIS had realised how one could make a profit from assisting death, then maybe it would be a different story.

 

So should walk in centers for suicide be in the high streets is the real question, for those that can pay of course, and the covery killing is legal anyway, so what the beef all about?????????

If you are ever unfortunate to find yourself in the same situation as my uncle.

Where there is NO HOPE of a full recovery. Perhaps the idea of an assisted death may well appeal to you, rather than just living in a rotting shell.

Should the following apply to serial thieves if they deem their life worthless?

Assisted Dying ........... overwhelmingly defeated today but are MPs simply out of touch with what people want?

 

The arguments about 'free choice' combined with terrible suffering and protecting the vulnerable are well and good. But, what if you are fine and simply want to end it all?

 

Saying goodbye to all, both friends and family, and then being able to chose the time, place and circumstances under some kind of 'Dignitas'.

 

Why not?

 

Otherwise it's suicide in secrecy and the terrible shock and trauma for everyone left behind. Or, it is eventual old age, deterioration you seek to avoid and that lingering, often painful and drawn out decay before death o'er takes you and pain riddles your body as the hospital tries to control it, but will, at times, fail.

As the title says:

All those in favour. I for one believe being assisted to end your life

Should you have a terminal illness, or no quality of life due to illness should be available .I believe the first reading in the House of Lords has been passed so maybe were on the right track.

 

Another sad day as MP's go against the wishes of the majority and reject the assisted dying bill, opinion polls say that 82% of the public supported Lord Falconer’s Assisted Dying Bill.

OMG - I was feeling quite upbeat when I logged on this evening - now I feel thoroughly down.

Thanks mate.

Sorry Daven didn't mean to make you feel down.

I agree, although to be honest, I'd be very surprised if the UK were ever to instigate something like this.
