'I want my own biological child. Obviously a woman will have to make and birth it for me and then another woman will do the actual looking after it for me, and the kid will probably have attachment issues for life, but hey, at least I'LL be happy. Isn't surrogacy so progressive?'

There are no upper age limits in law reform proposals for UK #surrogacy. At the last count, 95 single men became legal parents of babies born through #surrogacy in 2019, which is when single applicants on parental orders were possible. This screenshot is from yesterday.

#Spain The association Las Furias As Furias filed a criminal complaint and succeeded in getting the courts to shut down the websites and social media accounts of several #surrogacy agencies. Surrogacy and its advertising are prohibited by law in Spain. x.com/FuriasAs/statu…

A few years ago, I had a terrifying experience while staying alone in a hotel. At 6am, I was jolted awake by a man trying to get into my room - throwing his weight against the door again and again. I couldn’t reach reception, so I called the police. The call handler stayed on

“We need to tighten up the laws, not relax them; and we need to ensure that children are not being imported into the country from exploitative situations overseas.” With thanks to Jen Smith BBC South West for quoting our co-Founder Lexi. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Though it was included in the 1967 Abortion Act and the 2015 Marris (#assistedsuicide) bill, the phrase "conscientious objection" is in neither the #leadbeaterbill nor the Scottish bill. Why? It is part of the campaign to normalise killing as "healthcare". Reject these bills!

In February 1960 the chairman of the Euthanasia Society (now Dignity in Dying), Leonard Colebrook, was taken round St Joseph’s Hospice in Hackney by the palliative care pioneer Cicely Saunders. He told her: “If everybody could have this sort of care I could disband the Society.”

We understand BBC News (UK) Mark Lowen has had a second child with a Canadian surrogate mother. We’re blocked by him, but you may wish to be aware that babies bond in utero with their mothers, that women aren’t incubators and that surrogacy is 3x higher risk for severe complications.

Letter from two dozen DPOs (so far), led by Disability Rights UK: —“One of the most damaging pieces of legislation in recent times” —“A devastating impact...on Disabled people” —“The entire process...has excluded Disabled voices” —Falconer accused of “disregard towards Disabled people”

Should we ‘detach ourselves’ from the rationale of why people say they want to be helped to die? Having cared for thousands of dying people, some of whom expressed that they wanted to die, I’d suggest we should not.

If we were to share the image we have blurred here, we could be charged with distributing Child S*xual Abuse Material [CSAM].   The image is of a replica child lifting up her nightie and revealing her v*lva. This and many other s*xual depictions of little girls – including

Mr Marsh is a vocal supporter of the Terminally Ill Adults Private Members' Bill. A reminder of his previous comment on grannies coerced into death x.com/OtherHalfOrg/s…

At the Joint Committee on Human Rights today, Liz "blue tick" Carr makes an excellent point. The one safeguard that is needed is that #assistedsuicide remains illegal. Bravo!

🚨Pro-assisted suicide doctor Henry Marsh: Assisted suicide should be legalised, and then we can collect the data to see if "disabled people are being disproportionately hurt". By that point, it's a little too late...

The cost of some people's choice is that others will die who do not want to. Evidence to the Joint Committee on Human Rights from a bill backer!

OK I have tabled many amendments to the Terminally Ill (Adults) bill. All done to improve the bill. Over time I will explain them all.

The European Parliament now condemns surrogacy as exploitation and a form of violence against vulnerable women. They call on the EU to take measures to END this practice. It’s time to act. 🔗 europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…
