I suspect it’s a case of agreeing to disagree with many on the thread. I appreciate the calm convo, very different to trolling on Twitter.
Liz Carr’s documentary eloquently describes the fears of disabled people and the slippery slope of the Canadian model. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Because ethnically, I know that if I take that choice, I will put thousands of other people at risk.
My life experience gives me an insight to the world to those people at risk would be.

I believe in choice.
If positive societal attitudes and funding for disabled people and those with chronic illnesses to ensure good quality of life existed and there were safeguards to ensure them then I would be pro-choice on assisted dying.
In the same way I’m pro-choice on abortion.

Pretty sure that some of my work got donated to the Wellcome Trust.

I would compassionate care, in safe environments, with expert psychology and well researched treatment options.

“Send home to die” is not the hospice/palliative care plans that those with illnesses like cancer would receive.
Why offer a choice to one group of people and a deny the choice of care, treatment and quality of life to another?
There has to to be a way of protecting both groups.

I’m using eating disorders as a specific example, way before organ damage becomes terminal. I know three people with anorexia nervosa who have been sent home to die, against their will, long before organ damage takes effect.
These decisions are based on lack of service provision.

I don’t disagree.
The problem is that society already lacks funding and empathy towards disabled and chronically ill people who want to live and have a decent quality of life.

We should be listening to them.
There has to be a way of meeting their needs whilst robustly safeguarding others.
Currently this bill doesn’t do it.

Eating disorders are considered a terminal at a certain point. People are sent home to die on a
palliative pathway when there is no treatment cos we haven’t invested research or service provision.
Why would society fund research & treatment into preserving the life as assisted-dying becomes common?

I didn’t mention religion.
The people I know that oppose this all those in the disability community. There’s a documentary by actress Liz Carr that shows those arguments.
I haven’t even thought about the religious aspect.

My fear is where do you draw the line on terminal diagnosis.
That line will shift. The Canadian assisted-dying model shows that.
We need robust safeguards before this bill is workable in the UK.

What scares me is how do disabled people who have it, maintain a good life, when are model drastically changes.
Funding will shift. Maybe not in the first few years. There will be a balance tip with even less social care funding, less welfare support, less research in treatments to prolong life.

Sometimes, choosing to do something, puts lots of other people at risk.
The necessary safeguards are absent from this bill. If the legislators really cared about the rights of everybody, and the need for assisted-living, they would have put the safeguards in.

Why not both? Look at the Canadian model.
It started out by assisted dying for people like your wife.
But it has become a slippery slope, with huge numbers, opting for/being coerced into assisted dying, rather than assisted-living. It is that that scares me.

The rapid NICE guidelines which directed doctors at the beginning of the pandemic was a hierarchical list of who would be prioritised for ventilation shows. It shows what a slippery slope this would be - which people aren’t worth having assisted living when assisted dying is an option.

I’m not talking about dragging on life. I’m talking about people who are coerced into agreeing DNARs. Being told, or feeling like, they are burden.
We need to understand the difficulties of getting social care, welfare support, in work suppot, daily barriers to transport, leisure and education.

Two examples:
At the start of the pandemic, chronically, ill and disabled people were told that they would be at the bottom of the list when it came to critical care.
People with eating disorders are already sent home on palliative pathways instead of investing in research and treatment.

I do see where you’re coming from.
However, societies investment in assisted dying will mean continued protested suffering of the lives of people who are chronically ill and disabled. We need to invest in assisted-living.

It doesn’t guarantee you the end you want. It’s pretty much guarantees a continued underfunding in palliative care services, less research into palliative care options, reduce disability rights and increase death by coercion.
