Terrifying. Take dementia patients for example. They are considered not to have the faculties required to make decisions so the decision to end their life could come from someone with a vested interest such as an inheritance which may drip away if the person lives due to care costs. Much more expedient to bump them off.

And I'm not convinced that the state can put in place the necessary safeguards to prevent such an eventuality, they can't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Agreed. Very frightening

Lockdown certainly brought everything into focus. There are those who believe lockdown was just a practice run to see how far they could push a compliant population. The experiment worked. All that happens from now on are just steps towards whatever their final aims and objectives are. Someone should make a horror movie about what’s happening in Canada. It might grab people’s attention more. Just like the Post Office scandal - the public only took notice once it was on the telly.

I can’t add anything. I’m in total agreement with everything you say. Nothing about leftists is about compassion. They are a fraud. It’s all a façade. All of these #bekind people are to be avoided at all costs. I have seen how this has been utilised in Canada and soon it will be a question of if the state wants you dead, you is dead!

Lockdown changed everything for me to be frank.

I have always said that Euthanasia is a way of getting rid of if us oldies instead of taking care of us. Look at the DNR orders in hospitals during covid. Euthanasia legislation can never be careful enough to stop the slippery slop effect. Once you strart where do you stop? There are never enough safeguards. Where do you stop? Disabled people, mentally ill, children, babies?

Our lives are a gift from God and only He can decide when we leave this life.

Jillian, I think you’re right and I think we have enough real world examples now to suggest this to be the case.

Off topic but most people in the U.K. work about 225 days a year - so the parliamentarians should be collectively working about 125,000 days a year or 0.625m days in a parliament.

Once a country has a complete economic and related framework, then aside from flicking the switch between left wing and right wing it only needs to deal with novel issues.

Hence it looks around for new things to justify its existence …

Darren - you should ask Jacob Rees Mogg to write a short piece on this issue. As a practicing Catholic, I am pretty certain that he is both anti-abortion beyond the point of conception and anti-euthanasia.
