This debate has restored some of my faith in parliament

Assisted dying should absolutely not be under the power of the life saving nhs.

Health is adversely influenced by not being warm enough. Yet labour have restricted warmth for the elderly.

A mutually respectful grown up debate. It’s sadly too rare that it needs to be mentioned. This debate is at the heart of the ethical question “Who’s Life is it anway?”. Does the State own the body, or the person. I’m glad it will go to further debate and clarity, refinement in the committee stages. Please retain this decorum, of all persuasions, and explore the safeguards of the by definition vulnerable individual. The tone heartened me.

The Hippocratic Oath is first to do know harm. With a painful death awaiting, is promoting life when the patient would chose to avoid this when deterioration is moving quickly towards that ending. Is that doing no harm? This needs to find progression through the system. Pausing is such a luxury, whilst the current practice fails so many,

NZ after Switzerland, introduced this in 2019 with full unanimity, why does the UK feel it SO necessary to Project Manage anyone's end of life determination.

NO get the medicine sorted out people will be coerced by relatives and doctors not to be a burden.

I don`t eat Tomato Sauce, but it`s nice to have it in the cupboard as an option.

'We will all be involved if we make this change' absolute nonsense - it is the person using their freedom to end their life to spare pain, no one else has a right to be involved with that.

Can you add water fountains around town for animals such as squirells

[deedee]

There is nothing compassionate about this bill!

[lwright]

A sensible response. I am so glad that i don't have to stockpile medication in case i ever need to. I have counselled relatives of terminally ill patients where they have to live with the memory of their loved ones drowning in their saliva. That has to stop.

Even if you dont agree, surely denying someone the option is wrong. As long as no one is forced or coerced, then whats wrong the allowing peoole a choice?

[Mr.Haque]

Tulip Siddiq(MP) is also involved in the robbery of money in Bangladesh, so it is necessary to investigate how the money is transferred in the name of someone else or the name of her husband friend or family friend.
Perhaps a rich Bangladeshi businessman living in London has everything done in his name and he has received high-status privileges in Bangladesh and should be brought under the law.
She swindled money in London in the name of a trusted person and did it all out of reach.
Anyway, these should be brought under the law!
Everyone should remember that no one is above the law.

I see people are cheering for a bill that will eventually be corrupt, it's just a stepping stone, there needs to be some ground rules of definition to assist .

[veronicalivell]

There all ready doing it without permission. Putting butterflies on door meaning end of life in hospitals. When there was no need.

[personalaccount]

Grey guy in the green tie talking about 'internal pressure' - that's called choice and willpower.

[JulieTasker]

Law isn’t failing people.

Many pharmaceuticals are failing people including causing adverse side effects which often include potential suicidal effects.

Our NHS is failing people through not allowing proper integration of Complementary Therapies including massage, healing, reflexology, homeopathy and properly trained acupuncture.

Many Politicians are failing people in many ways including those who voted in favour if this Bill.

[JulieTasker]

Why don’t we just implement measures regarding coercion?
