Comment on MPs back proposals to legalise assisted dying

Except, the bill is about people on end of life pathways having dignity in their deaths, not anyone choosing to just end it because they don’t like their circumstances.
How society treats disabled people is terrible, I agree, but that isn’t what this bill is about

Is it really?
I’ll say it again:
One of them is right here telling you you’re wrong, and I’ve provided more than enough information for you to start understanding why. All you’re doing by refusing to listen, is reinforcing my point.

You’re actually straight wrong here. This is about terminal illness not disabilities.

It doesn’t impact you, your viewpoint it entirely irrelevant. Nobody who is disabled will suddenly be euthanised, and the links you provided are summed up as “we want more dignity, fuck everyone else until we get ours” which i don’t respect.
As someone with lived experience of a family member who would’ve benefitted from this bill as I watched them take 3 months to die, forgetting who their own family members where, constantly being given incredibly strong painkillers, spending hours in convulsions as the tumors ate away at their brain, I can confidently say you are the one who should listen to people who this actually impacts, while they’re still able to advocate for themselves.
