Thank you. Do Catholic hospitals next.

Biden should resign to mess up all of Trump's 47-branded merch.



A lot of people are saying.

Dignity for some is fundamentally inseparable from agency and autonomy. To me the failure of the anti AS proponents to recognise this is disappointing. At its core, opposition to AS is driven by particular value judgements, which those affected may not share. The argument for AS…



It's truly wild to fill this article with stats but not mention that slightly more men get assisted dying, that Kim Leadbeater, a woman, tabled the bill, and that Liz Carr and Esther Rantzen are prominent voices in the debate. @hannahshewans glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/assist…

Here's an important article by palliative medicine physicians who support assisted dying but are being silenced. bmj.com/content/387/bm…


Amanda is once again mischaracterizing the proposal. Allowing advance directives for MAID would mean anyone could add "I want MAID in situation x" to their advance directive at any point. The actual proposal is an agreement with a provider upon diagnosis of a medical condition.

In 2020, @viraniarif said: "It is an absolute red herring... We are not proposing advance directives; we are proposing advance consent." Today it was announced: "The Government of Canada will launch a national conversation in November 2024 on the topic of advance requests."



The problem here is clearly the lack of support this man is receiving, not whether he can access assisted dying. There's an easy test: If AD continues to be banned, is that going to do anything to help him? No? Then put your effort into improving disability supports.

This letter to @IrishTimes says it all re #assistedsuicide 👇😲😲😲

My main finding from following the UK assisted dying debate is that people have differing feelings about Esther Rantzen.
