Last week we discussed the Assisted Dying Bill - terminally ill patients should be offered specialised palliative care that can so often alleviate suffering. Too many pushing for assisted dying use the argument of intolerable pain to scaremonger. It is also chilling and galling that the NHS-run state assisted dying scheme will cost a fortune while government policies are destroying many hospices.

❗"Palliative care can alleviate the wish for a hastened death". We do not need assisted suicide! If our aim is to reduce suffering and ensure that people want to live, we must properly invest in palliative care services.

Kathleen Stock (Kathleen Stock) is a woman I have long admired and was an honour to finally host her on Thinking Class. We talked about Assisted Dying/Death, the focus of her latest book 'Do Not Go Gentle' and how big lobbyists are pushing it, how the concept of dignity has been captured (and misused) by its advocates, how a new anthropology led us here, and the extremely slippery slip we will step onto once any law is passed in Britain. Links to the full episode in the comments below.

What have we learned after two days of Assisted Dying Committee evidence? 1. Lack of access to palliative care is a major barrier to assisted dying being a genuine choice.

At 1.10 on Friday 13 March, after months of deliberation in the Lords and Commons, we get to the very crux of the misunderstanding that has underpinned the AS debate throughout. In answer to Lord Deben's question to Lord Falconer about whether he agreed with Baroness Murphy that assisted dying is part of palliative care, Falconer replied: "Assisted dying is about giving somebody a good death and I think palliative care is about exactly the same thing." Unsurprisingly, Lord Deben and others were visibly taken aback. In one sentence, Lord Falconer has revealed the intention behind this Bill, which is to bring assisted suicide into our palliative care system and forever remove the distinction between the two.

Assisted dying is about compassion, dignity, and choice. I backed the Assisted Dying Bill again today because I believe terminally ill people deserve the right to choose a peaceful end, alongside access to quality palliative care.

As the Assisted Dying Bill currently stands, we are at risk of heading toward a Horizon-style scandal in the making. My amendments aim to ensure that individuals with eating disorders are not pushed towards assisted death when what they truly need is the care and support they deserve.

Are there parallels between doctor-assisted suicide and medical transition? Kathleen Stock and I think these issues reveal an interesting change in how we think about healthcare: is it directed towards making us healthy or maximising our freedom?

Thank you for making this distinction Kim Leadbeater MBE MP Assisted dying is about exercising control over the manner and timing of a death that is inevitable and imminent. This is about shortening death, not shortening life.

Drawing on a decade of supporting people bereaved by suicide, Baroness Gerada challenges the use of the phrase “assisted suicide” and sets out the clear difference with assisted dying. Assisted dying applies to those who are already dying and want choice at the end of life.
