The bill has passed, now onto the HoL

I think their needs to be a safeguard to make people truly feel the impact of their choices. Euthanasias is too easy to romanticise. The choice needs to be visceral to make sure people who are suffering (given pain and depression tends to impair judgment) really give it thought. Surely 5 minuets of pain should be nothing compared to weeks of agony and indignity?


I wish I could tell you what my options are or rather aren't, but I'm not allowed to go into that sort of detail here as the mods won't allow it. But lets start with being unable to take any painkiller but paracetamol.

To be honest Peter I think you lack compassion, both for those who are dying and those who are caring for the dying. If there was an option on this site to block someone you'd be one of the first on my list.

Why do you think that some people who choose to end their lives have only suffered for weeks?

Some medical conditions span a whole lifetime.
