Respecting a patient's wishes must come first.
if I know the patient, I know what their wishes are, I see them suffering, and there’s nothing more I can do to help their suffering then, absolutely, I would hold their hand and help them achieve what they want to achieve.’ metro.co.uk/2025/06/09/t...
TV doctor Hilary Jones 'willing to help patients end life with assisted dying'
'I think we should respect the right of the individual to choose what they want.'

When they chose to die together, my grandparents wrote the final chapter of a love story spanning 70 years
My Nan held my hand, convincing me this was what they wanted. I felt like a little girl, crying and being comforted by my grandmother one last time

I also picked up on Dr Chloe Hurst’s point that, of dying patients who are prescribed the life-ending medication, 30% don’t go on to use it.
Demonstrates palliative effect of having choice & that patients don’t take medication as soon as it’s prescribed but only when they need to or not at all.

As a GP I've been massively reassured by testimony from overseas medic's in Committee. Witnesses from the US and Aus. are clear assisted dying is working well, preventing suffering, and providing genuine choice for dying people at the end of their lives.

VAD offers dignity, agency and choice about one's own death - opt-in and criteria based, if you aren't a fan then don't request it.
Tasmanian legislation clearly differentiates thusly: #VAD is a choice between death and death, whereas suicide is a choice between life and death.

Thank you for making this distinction @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social
Assisted dying is about exercising control over the manner and timing of a death that is inevitable and imminent.
This is about shortening death, not shortening life.
