Assisted Dying - Timely but Needs more Time!
Kim Leadbeater's Assisted Dying Bill seems to be stalling now its going through the Committee stage...
When the Bill first came to the Commons for debate, the mood was one of respectful debate that unusually seemed to involve listening and sympathy. However that mood has now most definitely been lost.
In latest voting session was hectic, argumentative session, and characterized by charges of ill faith and lack of time. Speeches were rigorously curtailed — initially to 15 minutes, then to only five — and most MPs who wished to speak were not given the opportunity. In more than four hours of debate, only the question of whether to do anything at all was put to a vote. Of a dozen amendments tabled, only two were voted on.
Not an acceptable way to make law...
I mean it would be hard to think of a more serious and sensitive issue to legislate for... the right to take your own life through medical intervention, it's about as much of a moral-maze as you can get!
And of course it's not just pie-in-the-sky ethics, it's about how to manifest those ethical problems... how to distinguish between a plea for help and a genuine desire to die, how to protect the vulnerable who may lack capacity to some extent, how to ensure the medical staff who are involved are protected too.
Psych blocking..
The Royal College of Psychiatrists threw a spanner in the works by rejecting the proposed system for approving assisted deaths. Originally, the plan was for a lone High Court judge to sign off each case, but when that was rejected Leadbeater suggested a board of a lawyer, social worker and psychiatrist. But psychiatrists said this would be in conflict with their obligation to treat — not facilitate — suicidal patients. More basically, there aren't enough of them to go around!
Final thoughts...
Polls consistently show strong public support for assisted dying, and on the second reading back in November 2024 the Bill passed with a majority of 50, suggesting MPs feelings broadly fall in line with public opiniion.
However, even though there is support in principle, it's a different matter fleshing out the minutiae of the actual legislation.
I think we just need to find a bit more time for everyone to have a say.

I hope they get it through, so many people needlessly suffering.

Your actions on the Hive blockchain reveal the extent of your control and influence—a dominance that has been wielded recklessly, destructively, and without regard for the community you claim to serve. We have exposed your schemes in painstaking detail, yet nothing changes. The silence from those who could intervene is deafening. Are you untouchable because @blocktrades is your ally—or perhaps you are @blocktrades? Either way, the pattern of behavior speaks volumes about power misused and trust betrayed.

The blockchain data tells the story plainly and clearly. We are not fabricating these claims; we are merely presenting what is already visible for all to see. As we’ve repeatedly urged @themarkymark & Co—the solution is simple: STOP.
SO PLEASE STOP. It’s time to do what’s right for Hive and its community. Why cling to practices that harm others? Power down, step away, and let Hive thrive as it was meant to. You bring nothing positive to this ecosystem.
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING—THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.
PLEASE STOP.
We’ve shown that we’re here to stay and have exposed the truth. So why has nothing been done? Do @themarkymark and @blocktrades own the Hive Blockchain? Is that why no action is being taken?

Creating laws around assisted dying is definitely one of the trickiest moral challenges we encounter as a society. It demands thoughtful reflection on personal freedom as well as the possible vulnerabilities of individuals who might look for help in ending their lives.
Especially before I may want to make use of it!
Oh god, you write this and I saw it while I prepare yy testament / last will - not sure what this sign means.
I think it's the way forward but it won't be easy to get anything this controversial passed as every politician is afraid to put their neck on the line by pushing anything slightly controversial. It goes against their in built survival instincts.
This is really, really weird.
We can kill 4th trimester fetuses after they left the womb in New York
But, we can't decide to end our own lives when the pain is too much.
You know, fully cognizant adult vs completely helpless baby…
And why hasn't the pineApple come out with anything yet? iDie?
Indeed, it’s unfortunate to see such a sensitive and morally deep discussion turn into a rushed and emotional debate.
It does need more time I agree with that!
Have you seen the suicide pods?
We've got manmade horrors beyond my comprehension.

This is pure evil. Look what has happened in Canada with euthenasia. In America we tell someone we're mad at to, "Seek Canadian healthcare." That basically means, "Go kill yourself."
I think it's fair enough for people to have the right to seek medical assistance to die if they want to!
Then you worship death.
