remember this day when we are bumping off 19 year olds because they are depressed about being un friended on twitface. sad day for our country that we have jumped on this band wagon.

We're not doing any of that.  Get a grip!

This boy deserves to be followed on Instagram.

Didn't you start a thread saying exactly the same thing a week or two ago?  Nothing has changed - there is still a long way to go before it becomes law, and it still might not.  The House of Lords will have to have their say.

i do find assisted dying on psychiatric grounds to be extremely dubious.

That percentage of victory (51.9% to 48.1%) is precisely the same as the result of the EU referendum.

So I think there should be a second vote.  🤣

i know you mean that as a joke NJ but i don't think that's unreasonable

it's an extremely serious law with far reaching consequences... if it's going to be done it's imperative that it's done right 

toratoratora is being quite graphic with his "marching granny to the exterminators" example but i do not want to see this law enacted without rigorous safeguards against people being manipulated into killing themselves

[DDIL]

Still no evidence provided of healthy youngsters or grannies being bumped off for the house.

how hysterical!

Hi Judge.

Think people are more genned up about this than they were about Brexit, so I guess it's more democratic.

[david small]

3T needs a dark room and a lay down. Too excitable.

"Think people are more genned up about this than they were about Brexit, so I guess it's more democratic."

Of course I cannot speak for everybody but I am most certainly not more genned up about this. I have very little knowledge about this proposal.

In contrast, I had been studying the EU and its effects on the UK for all of 25 years before the referendum and I think I had as good if not a better understanding of those effects than many MPs.

I don't know how you can describe a decision where a mere 650 people were eligible to vote as being more democratic than the EU referendum, where over 46 million people had a vote.

But you will note, that I ended my earlier post with a smiley  😎

Why must we keep people alive no matter how much they are suffering and leading a miserable life in pain. Death is part of life and if it comes earlier than expected by choice then what does it matter?

DDIL: "till no evidence provided of healthy youngsters or grannies being bumped off for the house.

twitface 😄

[Mozz71]

I have no idea if Dave50 is being ironic at 18:29 or not.

Yes we should have the right to say whrn we want to die, but imo more importantly we have  a responsibility to ensure the vulnerable are protected.

You may believe TTT is being hysterical DDIL, but not all relatives are fluffy bunnies, some can be absolutely vile,and can be made worse  if there is an inheritance in the offing

barry: "Nothing has changed - there is still a long way to go before it becomes law, and it still might not. " - it will certainly become law. The Lords may burger about a bit but in the end they'll pass it. 

[ToraToraTora]

quite rosetta, remember that case where an old lady gave her house to her daughter before she died to save all the agro afterwoods? Well the little bee hatch booted her mum straight out and sold it. There are a lot of unscrupulous little bastrads out there.

[ToraToraTora]

18:29 this is not about that, It's where it innevitably leads that concerns me. 

[naomi24]

Where you're so sure it leads is only inevitable in your own mind, TTT.
