We pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis, and in thanksgiving for his ministry. He saw the face of Christ particularly in the poor and marginalised, and invited everyone to the joy of an encounter with Jesus.

“As someone who relies on the state for my survival, I have a healthy distrust of giving it any more power over my life than it already has. Though some people want the right to die, many of us are still fighting for the right to exist.”

We need to show we can do better at assisted living for those in need of care before deciding whether to legislate on ways to die.

No one can understand the mental stress of battling the UK health system unless they live it. Very few healthy people would believe how broken it is. Let alone the care system
We cannot allow assisted death until the system to provide assistance to live is working. End of

“How would anyone know if someone had been coerced [into assisted dying]?”

“We’re talking about coercion almost on a state level.”
@thelizcarr argues that legalising assisted dying risks giving disabled, terminally ill and elderly people who ‘feel like they are a burden’ the impression that they have ‘no choice’ but to end their lives.

I do not share the reported enthusiasm for the Assisted Dying Bill. And it is painfully late to be bringing forward a draft bill, with so little time ton consider its contents.

Content warning: Assisted dying. Please only engage with this if it is safe for you.
We oppose the bill on assisted dying, which is being rushed into its second reading in parliament. We need help to live, not to die.

👀 So, what was said? #Budget2024

Can’t understand how we’ve ended up debating euthanasia when proper support for palliative and hospice care isn’t provided….
'Instead of trying to change the law in a way that cannot be safe for the vulnerable, we should be campaigning for Govt to fund palliative & hospice care properly, so that everyone is treated with dignity & compassion right to the end of their life." dailymail.co.uk/news/article…
