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.

My dad was completely helpless towards the end, mostly due to being left to lie in a hospital bed for days on end with no physio.
Seeing him suffer while relying on overworked hospital staff was upsetting.
He had a DNR notice above his bed yet was resuscitated TWICE so he could suffer more.
Would you allow a pet to suffer like this?

@RodneyTrotter1 More resources are needed for palliative care. Euthanasia as a money cutting solution is not the answer.

@peterlee I'm not saying it is but in extreme cases it's surely kinder to the person who's suffering, however difficult the choice is to make.
Hospitals are overworked and underfunded due to our NHS being used to treat illegal immigrants who have never contributed to the system, the smoke screening isn't working with me.
