Legalising euthanasia

I agree that this happened, and doctors still do it. I wouldn’t personally want anyone prosecuted for helping a loved one in this way. But this new law will radically change the whole nature and no doubt funding of medicine and end-of-life care, bringing so many risks to those who might not want their lives ended early. I hope I’m wrong about that, but genuinely doubt it.

Hi @HB63,
I hear your concern, :thinking:… If anyone didn’t want to end their life early, despite being terminally ill, then that is still their choice, it’s not about pressing anyone. I’ll admit I hadn’t thought about it it terms of care funding for those that wanted to stay, but doctors & hospitals would still have a duty of care to those people no matter what.

I worry about conveniently doing it.
Not what true wishes for reasons of not enough provision. Always heard conversations like haven’t enough staff
