With the vote in parliament tomorrow, thought it would be interesting to see what the opinion of the forum is.
Please don’t use this as an opportunity to try and change anybody’s mind

The difficulty is in the detail and I get the concerns from disabled groups in particular, but a firm yes in principle.

There was an interview with John Curtice where he was going over some polling which had been done, the surprising outcome was the elderly seemed more in favour of it than younger people?

Having watched my Dad fade away over a few years and been on the receiving end of his requests to finish him off, a yes from me.

There has to be rigorous checks in place, but yes.

This is my thoughts as well. The tricky thing is how to make sure the correct checks are in place but red tape delays are minimised. I also voted yes. |

Surprising? Really? Why would you think it was surprising? |

Probably because most had seen or know someone who would probably have benefited from the option, whereas the younger people hadn’t had as much exposure, yet |

An emotive issue for sure.
50/50 for me.
Supportive of choice.
Concerns about regulation, scope creep, possible slippery slope in terms of erosion of valuing life etc.
Not a fan of the "Well people are allowed to take their pets to the vet to be put down, so..." argument. Jeez, really.
On balance went no.

I’m probably closer to the end game than most on here. I’m, hopefully, getting my skin cancer sorted but you never know. I certainly have no fear of dying but I do fear some of the physical/mental states a person can get into.
Hope this club can fucking sort itself out before they nail me down.

No. I think legalised killing can never be a good thing. From a personal point of view the more days I get to see my loved ones the better.
