As you know, the UK Parliament is currently debating the Assisted Dying Bill which is being pushed by the supposedly “independent” but well funded Kim Leadbeater (or “Angel of Death” as I look upon her) The Scottish Parliament has also recently passed their version of this legislation. In my view the UK will fully go down this very dark and dangerous path. But it’s not JUST the UK…
French MPs have voted to allow some people in the last stages of a terminal illness the right to assisted dying. The National Assembly approved the bill, which is backed by President Emmanuel Macron, by 305 votes to 199. It will now go to the upper house, the Senate, before a second reading in the National Assembly. Supporters hope it will become law by 2027. It would make France the eighth country in the European Union to allow a version of assisted dying.
It’s also worth considering what has happened in Canada which introduced its version of this - the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) in 2021. Eligibility for death includes unbearable suffering, and as of 2021, the law expanded to include non-terminal conditions though mental illness as the sole condition is still a point of debate with implementation delayed until at least 2027. Approximately 44%–45% of Canadians undergoing MAID in 2022 likely experienced unbearable pain as a significant factor in their decision. And around 50% didn’t.
This is the trajectory that I believe all this pro Euthanasia legislation is destined. It plays on our natural concern for people in great pain but it actually opens a Satanic Pandoras box. It’s a death cult that encourages sacrifice of precious human life. It hands the power of life and death to doctors - the very LAST group of people I would trust. It facilitates the removal from society of those deemed expendable.
A society that believes in nothing can offer no argument even against death. A culture that has lost its faith in life cannot comprehend why it should be endured.”

Doctors have been able to do this for decades without the law. Plus they propose using a drug that causes patients to die by drowning in your own fluids whilst unconscious.
They have no idea what people are actually experiencing.
The Canadian scheme started with the same good intentions but assisted death is now the fifth highest cause of death.
