ASSISTED DYING: "Assisted suicide legislation would further expand the use of ('End of Life' protocols)" (Amanda Hunter)

This bill is being rushed through, with issues like 'End of Life' protocols being ignored

The public should decide, not MPs

ASSISTED DYING BILL: "No single organisation representing the disabled supports this bill" (Diane Abbott)

Many views and concerns

This why we need these ideas thoroughly debated, not rushed through Parliament

There will be private doctors who will "make a living" out of providing assisted dying

ASSISTED DYING BILL

Committee to scrutinize already stacked in favour of MPs for it

Yesterday it voted NOT to hear evidence from Royal College of Psychiatrists

These shenanigans don't give anyone any confidence

Before the last vote in Parliament, far too little time had been awarded to thrashing out the issues, interrogating the flimsy safeguards and reflecting on the economic, social, and cultural contexts in which #AssistedDying will be exercised.

Save for some well-reasoned speeches from the 'no' camp, most notably Danny Kruger and Tim Farron, the debate barely touched the surface of the deeply complex issues and paradigm-shifting consequences.

Our largely naive & unquestioning political class seem to have no understanding of the gravity of this decision.

This is far too important a decision to be left in the hands of 600 MPs. The public MUST have a proper say.

Many well-meaning people assume assisted suicide would only be for those in pain

But under the Bill, pain or suffering aren’t required to qualify

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL: We understand there will be a rally event by those concerned about the Bill, on the day of the vote

Outside Parliament, THIS Friday 16 May

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL: This Bill has been dangerously weakened - not strengthened

Despite promises of world-leading safeguards, the Committee stage has stripped out key protections, making the Bill riskier for the vulnerable

Many who may have supported assisted suicide in principle are now extremely alarmed by this Bill

MPs must take this seriously

📽NEW: "What’s Wrong with the Assisted Dying Bill?"

Watch our short documentary film feat. Fleur Elizabeth, Kevin Yuill, Romy Cerratti, Eileen Chubb, Dr Calum Miller, Amanda Hunter, Flick, Ann, & more

This film explores the serious dangers posed by the Assisted Suicide Bill (AKA "Assisted Dying" / Terminally Ill Adults Bill).

We explore how similar laws have expanded beyond their original scope in other countries, why the UK, with its overstretched and underfunded healthcare and social care systems, is in no position to safely introduce such legislation, and how the process behind this Bill has been deeply flawed, from the rejection of key safeguards to the marginalisation of opposing voices.

With the all-important vote expected this Friday - and the vote on a knife-edge, now is the time to act. Please contact your MP to raise awareness of the risks this ill-conceived Bill poses.

A thank you to all who appeared in the documentary,
and to everyone who has worked tirelessly to #KillTheBill

Shot, directed and edited by Rory Jacobs
