There’s a strong lobby against it and they have money behind them as well. Regarding England, shame on the Lords unelected and unaccountable. More like the Taliban than anything else. #DignityInDying
It’s funny how MSPs care more about the welfare and humane treatment of dogs than they do of dying people. 🙄 #AssistedDying #ScottishParliament #DignityInDying
I really do hope that MSPs vote to pass Liam McArthur’s Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill tonight #DignityInDying @dignityindying.org.uk 🩷 💙
"The bill would allow a terminally-ill, mentally-competent adult to end their life"
Why is there even a discussion about this? (apart from the ridiculous bronze age religious views)
We allow euthanasia for pets in pain at the end of life, why cant humans have the same dignity?
#DignityInDying
Public support for #dignityindying is huge
Hopefully our #MSPs will remember that choice is what we believe is best for #Scotland
Vote for choice
5/5
Jersey’s States Assembly just voted to keep these safeguards and pass the law. The message: personal conscience outranks imported dogma. We don't need DC-style "culture wars" in St. Helier. Compassion won today, and it was despite the church, not because of it. #DignityInDying
My step grandma is dying. Her body is failing but her mind is sound. They've got her on palliative medications as death is imminent. And she knows this is the end. It's beyond cruel.
#dignityindying should be the law of the land. She would have chosen it, had that been an option, I'm sure.
So it’s more important to get the law changed #dignityindying
✒️ Signed: Please join me and support #DignityInDying
Let's remind @houseoflords.parliament.uk that over 70% of people in the UK and the House of Commons support law change as proposed in the #AssistedDying Bill.
‘needs extensive amending’
OK. What exactly?

#AssistedDyingBill 'no hope' of passing unless Lords change approach, warns peer www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Please sign & share this petition calling on the members of the House of Lords not to block or delay the bill any further. This is our chance to make sure terminally ill people people have the choice and dignity they deserve.

My friend Alain was a courageous campaigner for #DignityInDying as he fought brain cancer. He died peacefully in the end, but was denied the death he had wanted to choose.
Others should not be denied the right to die on their own terms as Alain was.

Only comfort, presence, and permission to rest 🤍

Let's hope the Lords are a bit less bloody minded about this than they're being about #DignityinDying .....
Excellent news, well done #DignityInDying
“Death doulas bring dignity, compassion, and a human touch—ensuring quality care at life’s final chapter. 🌿✨

52:48 a huge mandate....... yet today's #DignityInDying a narrow win........ BBC driving the conversation tomorrow morning again.......
Am glad that the assisted dying Bill has passed the Commons today.
It will almost certainly be defeated in the Lords (unless there are a lot of them with trips to Switzerland in their near future) ... but tiny steps forward are still steps forward.

As a Humanist, who firmly believes in choice, today can be forever seen as a truly historic day.
I am very pleased with the result and look forward to seeing proceedings in the House of Lords.

@davidallengreen.bsky.social I feel the covert direction of religion from many Parliamentary commentators, including the veterinary surgeon currently referring to #AssistedDying as “suicide” and comparing the medical procedures to those used when putting pets to sleep. @humanistsuk #DignityInDying
John McDonnell just gave a beautiful and moving contribution in support of #AssistedDying in the current debate in Parliament. #DignityInDying @humanists.uk

How brave and noble is Baroness Davison to think anew, using current knowledge and experience to change her mind to a support position on MSP MacArthur’s well drafted bill. #dignityindying #assisteddying #EndofLifeCare #MAID
“The law must never pressure anyone to die.”
But should it stop someone who wants to, clearly and freely, when terminally ill?
That’s the dilemma MPs face this week.
Stephen McNair reports #DignityInDying
2/2 Daughter wanted her to have more treatment and was using every manipulative trick in the book to persuade her.
#Coercion? #VulnerablePeople? #Capacity? #DignityInLiving? #DignityInDying?
I urge you to take a moment to sign the petition. People aka Human Beings should have the autonomy to choose and have access to an advanced directive when facing a terminal illness.

Dignity in dying should be holistic - that includes people having the right to choose. That choice should not be palliative or assisted dying, it should be personalised and allow for all care and empowerment for the individual.
