NEW: David Neuberger tells the Guardian that the status quo is failing “the fundamental aims of the law – to respect people’s right of personal autonomy, and to protect the vulnerable”.
It's time for change.
Soon we’ll have assisted dying available within the U.K. fantastic news! Onwards and upwards

I'm reading compelling The Day I Die by @AnitaHannig. Tenderly & straightforwardly written it captures lived experience of dying & #MAID in the US. Little details like what do you do when with a group of family at a loved one's end (do you bring sandwiches?) really bring it home – at White Colne, East

Scottish consultation shows 76% of respondents want legislation for assisted dying.
How long must we wait before England consults voters?

Imagine if we had a law for assisted dying in the U.K. People would not be driven to such tragic desperate measures

The Oregon-based law that we campaign for is very prescriptive. It would only be available to dying people. The number who actually use it is very small, and have remained so in Oregon. Your fears are unfounded
It's a cost saving measure. They see people with poor health as an inconvenience. They'd rather kill us off than invest in medical treatment or pay disability benefits.

Is @TheBMA going to take the Roe v Wade road over assisted dying asks recent BMA President Prof Neena Modi?
#ARM2022
Over 60% of members do not want the BMA to oppose assisted dying, hence a neutral position was adopted in 2021. To reverse this would be to force a minority view on the majority; is the UK to go down the Roe v Wade route? @BMA @BMA_JuniorDocs @BMA_Academics @BMAScotland @BMA_GP

When death is inevitable, suffering should not be. Dying people deserve the choice to control the manner of their death. Parliament will debate our #AssistedDying petition on 4 July. There is still time to sign the petition to make your voice heard by MPs. petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Jan's simple statement of facts about how assisted dying would improve her life stands in sharp contrast to the lies and confusion about the matter that are spread by opponents of law change. Well said, and thank you for using your time and energy to support law change for others
Congratulations @gogentle_aus ! Common sense and compassion prevails in New South Wales.
We look forward to the day when the U.K. passes a law for #assisteddying
<BREAKING > The NSW Parliament has passed the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021!

You get the prize for sanctimonious rubbish. Collect it whenever you like
The case for #assistedsuicide (let us call it what it is) rests upon emotion rather than on facts or deeper understanding of the issues invloved. It is inherently exploitative of understandable but misplaced fears about the end of life.
Very balanced piece on assisted dying, well worth a read.
