Blessed Carlo Acutis, Pray for us! I've just released a book about him: 'The Boy Who Knew (Carlo Acutis) Did you know he not only knew he would die young, but he predicted the cause of his death when he was a small child? amzn.to/3ispi66 #CarloAcutis #BlessedCarloAcutis

Is Lord Brooke, sitting one seat along from the sponsor of the Bill, advocating for assisted dying as a tool of population control? An extraordinary contribution suggesting human life be actively sacrificed to prevent climate change. This bill drives utilitarian thinking!

#BookReview Weigh the Odds by @CorinnaTAuthor unSPARKed 11 This story takes place over just a few days. There are surprises right from the beginning. I honestly did not think the risk and the danger could be pushed further in this series, and yet Turner has found a way to do it. It is a fast paced heart pounding pager turner. #YA #MG bookreviewsandmore.ca/2024/12/weigh-…

This is now moving away from evidence based or reasoned moral debate, it is death-cult-speak (Dignity in Dying & co), making certain terms a thought crime. Don't say Suicide when talking about #AssistedDying #MiniTrue #DoubleSpeak
Dr Cajetan Niall@TradSkowronski

Kim Leadbeater on R4 right now: "I find the term Assisted Suicide offensive" Well sorry for offending you with the fact of what you are pushing! If you can't own what you are pushing, withdraw the bill.

Powerful intervention from @dominicgrieve_ against the Bill As @libertyhq and the @EHRC have noted, the safeguards are so inadequate that the Bill is likely incompatible with the ECHR - and is contrary to the Rule of Law Govt shouldn't hide being neutrality to let this through

Samaritans joining the debate is interesting because it exposes how, if the Bill passes, the NHS will have to both (i) facilitate suicide for those wanting to end their lives in certain circumstances, (ii) intervene to stop those wanting to end their lives in other circumstances

A Yes vote Friday is not a vote to “have more debate”. It's a vote to approve the bill as it stands, since post-second reading opportunities for scrutiny are extremely limited. Wrong idea, wrong bill, wrong time.
Anthony Horan@AHoran79

Hearing some MPs who have concerns about lack of ‘safeguards’ in the Bill still intend to vote for it on Friday. This is astonishingly poor logic! A vote for the Bill is a vote for all of its provisions, warts and all! If you have doubts, VOTE NO! #AssistedDying #AssistedSuicide

🚩🚩🚩ORGAN-HARVESTING euthanasia victims in Belgium If you’re not haunted by the UK assisted suicide bill already, remember that in Belgium they are already harvesting organs from euthanasia victims and calculating how many more they can get

I’ve wrestled with the philosophical arguments around assisted dying. But, in the end, I oppose it on practical grounds. The safeguards in the Bill are grossly inadequate and will leave the most vulnerable dangerously exposed👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/2…

A little-discussed aspect of the Leadbeater bill is Clause 25, which gives doctors and others total immunity from civil suits, even when they botch the assisted suicide procedure. This shows how much confidence the bill's promoters have in their assisted suicide process.

The airbrushed picture of an attractive young woman cavorting in her pyjamas promoting the #leadbeaterbill should be replaced by a picture of Cyril Tooze. Terminally ill Mr Tooze was told he would wait 10 months for home care in Australia. He couldn't afford both rent and private homecare. So he was assisted to die in South Australia where Voluntary Assisted Dying is legal. This is the reality of #assisteddying. Not so much a choice but a desperate act when faced with dwindling options. Like suicide often is.

Bad week for @dignityindying : -Their patron supports suicide for wheelchair-bound & depressed, Hon Pres says bill's landmark High Crt safeguard is unnecessary & safeguards can be overdone telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/2… -Spent vast sums advertising suicide on the tube -Accused of championing domestic abusers/convicted killers telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/2… Leadbeater's Bill is a @dignityindying handout. Could anyone trust their law to be safe?
