“I have seen the practice develop from euthanasia being an exception, to euthanasia becoming a rule.” Assisted dying expert Professor Theo Boer warns there's evidence "all over the world" that legalising euthanasia "sets in motion a new dynamic" of supply and demand. Aasmah Mir

@AasmahMir This terrifying slippery slope has occurred in every single jurisdiction where killing of the vulnerable was made legal. Yes, in Oregon and Switzerland too. Bringing euthanasia in a broken health and social care systems is a recipe for state-sponsored murder of the vulnerable.

@AasmahMir Chesterton’s fence. We’ve seen what that the removal of sex-based protections for women has been an invitation for male cheats, deviants & predators. Make bad, sloppy laws and bad actors will take advantage of it.

@AasmahMir My starting position was in support of right to die but have done a 180. As someone put it, once you step over the line, you can never come back. As awful as some suffering is, the slippery slope would definitely materialise.

@AasmahMir Would governments be pushing euthanasia if it cost them money? It has nothing to do with compassion & everything to do with reducing government spending.

@AasmahMir Euthanasia to anyone over the age of 74 on the basis of “completed life” 😲

Ximene1 year ago

@AasmahMir It's just a form of eugenics designed as a cynical cost-cutting exercise by politicians without answers to endemic problems

@adamboultonTABB @AasmahMir Euthanasia on demand for people aged 74 and older on the basis of ‘a completed life’? You can shove that right where the monkey stuffed his nuts

@AasmahMir This is genuinely horrifying. That there are actually people campaigning for a Logan’s Run/Midsommer sort of society when older people’s live have no value, which obviously is already happening to the mentally ill.

@AasmahMir The Netherlands, always so progressive. The Dutch Protocol is a medical scandal, Dutch Prostitution policies made us the hub of sex trafficking and Dutch euthanasia law allowed for a 17 yr old girl suffering from BPD (!) to basically get assisted suicide💩City upon a hill, not.

@AasmahMir Fascinating and totally contradicting what the Mp advocating this on @lbc this morning where she denied there had been a slippery slope in Canada the developments in Holland are even more scary

‘Assisted Dying’ Committee: Dutch expert reveals the emerging horrors of Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide in his country. Sometimes a short news video clip might not capture the nuance of discussion at Oireachtas Committee hearings. The RTE News coverage of Tuesday's hearing is a case in point. Prof Theo Boer had a lot to say about ‘Assisted Dying’ and Euthanasia in his own country. The big takeaway is that Euthanasia becomes the last resort for people afflicted by loneliness and fear: ‘In the past 20 years, the numbers have quadrupled and… the increase seems to accelerate rather than slow down. In some neighbourhoods assisted deaths account for between 15% and 20% of all deaths.’ ‘The second development we have seen is an expansion of the pathologies - the reasons underlying a request to die … we see a shift to patients who fear years or decades of loneliness, alienation and care dependency… This expansion is motivated - this is important for the committee, as Members of Parliament, to take into account - by a logic of justice, the question as to why euthanasia is provided only for terminal patients, for example?... After all, a person can suffer very much for non-medical reasons as well.’ ‘That is why we have now a law in parliament that legalises Euthanasia for all people over 74 years, with or without an illness…Their age is the only reason they can have 'Assisted Dying'. That in turn is why we now have a regulation that allows parents to request Euthanasia for their young children aged from zero to 11 years old. I am convinced it is only a matter of time before we take the next hurdle, namely, allowing children of dementia patients to request Euthanasia for their demented parents.’ ‘There is a saying that people can live 30 days without eating, three days without drinking, three minutes without oxygen but not three seconds without hope. Sometimes it is the total absence of hope, either in the persons themselves or in their surroundings, that contributes to their suffering.’ For those who are involved in suicide prevention work, or in keeping hope alive for elderly people, or who are committed to caring professions which are built on hope, I recommend you pay attention to these Oireachtas hearings (see Attached is a short clip of my own engagement with Prof Boer at the Committee on Tuesday. To legalise ‘Assisted Dying’ is to hinder hope and drive despair.

Just 4 countries around the world allow organ donation right after euthanasia (the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, and Spain). Here I explain the process. You are sedated at home and then transported to a hospital where your euthanasia is completed via 'circulatory death'.

As land values soar, they’re bullied to leave. Desperate, Hindus have begged the President for euthanasia or justice, plastering posters with their plea.

🔥🚨DEVELOPING: A British couple, Peter and Christine Scott, are scheduled to have their lives ended together using an assisted suic*de euthanasia system, the Sarco pod, in Switzerland. This marks a first for UK citizens choosing this advanced technology for assisted dying. Peter explained that he and Christine, aged 80, made this decision after 46 years of marriage, following her diagnosis of vascular dementia. The Sarco pod, often referred to as "the Tesla of euthanasia," uses liquid nitrogen to induce death by gas asphyxiation. Their final moments will be filmed and provided to a coroner as evidence, setting a historic precedent in the field of assisted dying. Switzerland has already used the Pod to euthanize an American woman in September 2024 which led to several arrested after prosecutors in Schaffhausen have opened criminal proceedings against several people for “inducing and aiding and abetting suicide,” This is Sarco, a 3D-printed suicide pod that uses nitrogen hypoxia to end the life of the person inside in under 30 seconds after pressing the button inside.

Jeepers. Exactly the kind of assisted dying safeguarding collapse we fear. A couple - NOT terminally ill - find drs willing to sign them off for dual euthanasia. Possibility of coercion glossed over: 'he didn't want to live without his love'. Family fears 'what if one changed their mind at the last minute' - when everyone had gathered and booked the meal! And the whole thing romanticised in media. Exactly what happened in Canada - where couple deaths are now commonplace. 👇 Nothing to prevent dual euthanasia in Leadbeater's bill.

In Canada, there’s a growing push to expand euthanasia eligibility to “mature” children who have the “capacity to consent”: “The head of the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons testified before Parliament that he thinks it's important that [euthanasia] may be considered for children with severe deformities and abnormalities, as he put it. And the leading euthanasia lobby in Canada has suggested it may be expanded to those ‘mature minors’ who they think have the capacity to consent, maybe along with a parent or guardian agreeing, but are able. So, this is an actual conversation in the policy space across Canada. And we already see the elimination of the requirement for consent with the euthanasia of persons with dementia who might make an advance request but then are unable to really change their mind. Their former self can bind their future self so irrevocably that they are not required to give consent, final consent, which was a former safeguard that we had before the moment of their death. And so these crises of consent also get eroded.” Amanda Achtman, founder of the Dying to Meet You Project
