Assisted dying in UK

One of the most ill thought out Bills going through Parliament at the moment.

Let’s us thank God for Archbishop elect Sarah, and previous Prime ministers David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Theresa May.

I stand agasp that George Carey should dare open his mouth, or Charlie Faulkner, or Esther Wilcox.

We don’t need a world where Harold Shipman or Lucy Letby reign.

I fear for people in care homes and the most vulnerable of society.

Those who support assisted dying will not deny anyone the right to suffer and die in agony if they so wish. Those who oppose it are attempting to impose their wishes on everyone.

@NortiusMaximus God only has the right to take life!
Even those who choose to take their own life are not outside God’s Grace and mercy.
@peterlee So it should be an option for the non-religious.
@peterlee You're entitled to your beliefs but you don't have the right to impose them on the rest of us. If your god thing doesn't like what we do, let it speak for itself.
@peterlee Please show me exactly where in the Bible it says "Thou shall visit regularly people whose only job is to keep you alive for as long as possible - no matter what the cost to your dignity and sanity".

Jesus didn't go around handing people pills when he healed them... and this is nowhere near the miraculous healing he did do.

@HootyTheNightOwl You will notice in my recent post I outline the main arguments against assisted dying. Five as well as the sanctity of life.

The Jewish/Christian argument is of course,
‘Thou shalt not kill’.
