AIBU to see the government vote against assisted Dying, as preventing personal choice in how we might want to die?

What sort of person wishes this on another human?

AD is 'just' another treatment protocol that needs good Governance, not it's own seperate special status

Respectfully, I have to disagree, @Periperi2025

You're quite right that any number of drugs and surgeries can bring about death, but that's not their primary intention in other cases - except for such as Shipman of course, and thankfully we already have the protocols for dealing with things like this (albeit a bit late, and where were the "Prescription police" then?)

You're right again, though, about the need for rigorous governance overall, and for me we're nowhere near enough to that for the AD measure to be introduced at this stage

I don't give a toss to be honest. I've picked a side.

I've had enough of people expecting the state to take care of everything for them.

You and others who are pro - AD already have the choice of suicide. It's not a crime.
Work it out yourself in a way that causes minimum harm to others.

I don't wish anybody to reach this point, nevertheless, with a bit of research suicide can be carried out effectively.

I do not judge anybody for taking their own life, I also advocate leniency for those who I believe have actually put their money where their mouth is and helped a loved one in extreme pain die and not expected anybody else to do the nasty job for them.

I applaud their lack of selfishness.

I'm not the moral police and am an atheist.

Frankly, though, don't drag anybody else into it.

You're right about the train drivers.
Funny how you care about the traumatised train driver not the medical staff who will also undergo trauma through outright klliing of another human, though. Fuck 'em, eh?

I see you haven't bothered commenting on the rest of my post.

This is not a public speaking debate, what you've quoted here is not a gotcha- others can read the rest of my post if they wish.

I am going to be very blunt now: if people want to commit suicide the onus is on them to find a way.

Them and them alone.

If they've got family members who'll assist as an act of mercy, fine.
I sincerely hope compassion and leniency is shown if the CPS get involved.

But it is not the state's place to assist that suicide and nor should anybody have this sword of Damocles of AD hanging over them.

I make no judgement on it from a moral perspective, nor a religious one as I am an atheist, I'm not putting up with having the fucking government having any little chink of light that sneakily allows them to kill others, though.

I have zero faith in them to get this right. Zero.
As Jordan Peterson pointed out, they can't even get the trains to arrive on time.

I think you misunderstand.
