We’re not having an election anytime soon. We don’t govern by polls. It’s called a parliamentary democracy. We elect representatives (MPs) every 5 yrs. get over it

Obviously ridiculous as we’re not likely to have an election any time soon. Get real

If you’re worried about Prostate Cancer, and you’re a man, get your PSA checked. It’s a simple blood test. It will tell you your risk, then you can decide with your doctor, what to do next.

I understand the arguments.

I still prefer the Gordon Brown argument for better palliative care.

As a GP I wouldn’t wish to be involved in judging someone’s competence to wish to end their own life.

Keeping someone comfortable while withdrawing life prolonging interventions seems preferable

I didn’t spend a lifetime as a doctor to sign away someone’s life. There are too many risks. I will be one of those agreeing to do this

Well I for one will not be approving a patient on mine to take their own life

I’ve just jumped from X to here. Looking forward to more intelligent conversation

Nice one! I’ve just jumped over from X.
