...yes, Britain, one of the few European countries still outlawing this sensible law is still languishing in the stone age.
Assisted suicide is not designed to be there so that everyone who is terminally ill will be forced into suicide, it's there so that people who WANT to end their suffering and endless pain can do so. The folk against this - many of them religious types who believe that God gives life and should only be allowed to take it - WHAT THE F*CK ABOUT TERMINALLY ILL ATHIESTS WHO WANT TO DIE!!!???
I can say most certainly that if I was terminally ill, or braindead and being kept alive I'd want to be allowed to die and end the suffering of myself but more importantly that of my family. I'd not want to drain the health service further by staying alive. That's my take if I was ever in a terminal condition.
This bill should have been passed so that people would be able to CHOOSE themselves or state in their living will, that they want to end their suffering. As an athiest I am deeply insulted that the anti-movement (with a strong religious following) managed to push the bill over. It's not like they'd be forced to agree to assisted suicide afterall. It's a choice, not a requirement. By all means live by your faith, but don't cut off the rights of people who want to die and end their endless pain and the burdon on their family and the system itself.
I'm really steamed up over this, I find it utterly disgusting and am further ashamed of this so-called country. This bill gets turned over easily, meanwhile Labour are trying to shove through a scheme which would charge motorists £1.34 per mile and spy on them wherever they go - a clear infringement of human rights as well as utter nonsense - paying for your car and travel TWICE no less. This country is f*cking sickening I tell you, two twisted baby-rapers get a pathetic jail sentece, animal rights protesters dug up a corpse and Labour are still in power.
Sorry for being so angry and whatnot, but I am seriously sickened by this country now and this bill getting overturned is absolutely preposterous.
