Apols if there is already a thread, I did search but couldn't find anything.
The House of Lords is today debating a new bill to allow those diagnosed terminally ill with six months or less left to live the right to assisted dying.
I am 100% in favour; they have it in other countries and it doesnt seem to be abused. However I wonder if it goes far enough... my mother wanted to die a good two years before she did, and eventually had a horrible death in hospital, which the hospital didnt expect. You wouldn't allow a dog to go through what she suffered particularly in the last five months - in fact you'd be prosecuted, quite rightly.
My body, my life, my right to choose when I've had enough.
What do you all think?
