So instead of a Bill to strengthen comprehensive end of life care, they’ve published the proposals for legalising euthanasia via assisted suicide. Safeguards won’t work. The vulnerable will be at risk. Care not kill. Liz "blue tick" Carr Tanni Grey-Thompson Frank Cottrell-Boyce Baroness J Campbell See:
This is really important. Thank you Philip Murray Labour MPs who voted for assisted suicide are more likely to represent powerful middle class voters. Please analyse the data for visible minorities. Assisted suicide is a white middle class obsession & a first world issue.
Disturbed by Royal College of General Practitioners decision to drop opposition to assisted suicide despite the majority of GPs opposing it and only 33.7% supporting the principle (not the practice). Let's be clear, the majority of GPs still oppose assisted suicide Danny Kruger Liz "blue tick" Carr Laurence Turner
Susan Marriott GPonline Royal College of General Practitioners A 4 way split with “undecided”. When you remove undecided from the denominator >50% opposed legalising assisted suicide.
Those MPs who voted to give this Bill a Second Reading, on condition that strong safeguards would be added to protect the vulnerable, should now do the right thing and join Wes Streeting in opposing its enactment. Lives are at stake.
