UK parliament votes for suicide bill

UK has now made it legal for doctors and a “panel of experts” to help adults who are expected to die in less than six months to commit suicide. It was a close vote. The first state-backed suicide may not be until 2029.

What are your thoughts on assisted suicide?

Adults should be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies.

@BohemianBabe Nature dictates that we cannot do what we want with our bodies, unless we are suicidal and homicidal maniacs, in which case we pay the price. The others who commit suicide do not need doctors to help them, but they still end up in Hell or Purgatory.

@BohemianBabe A doctor in UK can now compel a patient to believe they should die. They can lie to a patient, making their disease sound worse than it is. This is a culling of the population. Humans are snuffing out other humans, and we call it “empathy.”
@emiliya Doctors can also lie to sell people drugs that make their condition worse. Doctors lying and the regulations needed to stop them, that's a whole different issue.

@BohemianBabe Everyone listens to the doctors. The decision the so-called panel of experts makes will be informed by what the doctors say, to the extent they go along with the doctors in whole. They will sign it and not think twice about the sacred human life they are putting to death.
@emiliya Yes, but that's a different issue. The medical industry should be heavily regulated so doctors don't lie to patients, but that would be an issue whether or not euthanasia was legal.

@BohemianBabe How would you regulate the medical industry?
@emiliya Please cite the Bible verse that says people who commit suicide go to hell.

@LeopoldBloom Murder is a sin. You should know that “lo tirtzach” is one of the Ten Commandments. It is a sin to take the lives of others and a sin to take your own life.
