Re: A Duty To Die?

easy for her to say as she is probably wealthy enough to not need the nhs.

as a side note I think the government shouldnt even have advisors, advisors arent elected yet I expect have a great role in how policies are drawn up.

This guy sums up my views perfectly

‘The true aim of those campaigning for a change in the law, as we have seen today, is to allow anyone who requests it, regardless of their age or health, to be helped to end their lives.

‘All the evidence shows that any change in the law would place pressure on vulnerable people ... to end their lives so as not to be a burden on loved ones, carers, or the state.’
Got to love the daily mail... not.

'healthy women' headline then goes on to say she had crippling arthritus.
