Agree with you @DocSteve that expanded ED Testing so important in diagnosing people with #HepatitisB The @LiverTrust ‘s excellent report “Break The Silence” is a roadmap to better designed pathways & care britishlivertrust.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

We've delighted to be in Westminster tonight, launching our new report "Hepatitis B: Break the Silence" with MPs at parliament. We're speaking with MPs about how to best work towards the @WHO's ambition to eliminate #hepatitisB in the UK by 2030. Read the report: britishlivertrust.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

"These patterns suggest that #AssistedDying may exploit systemic neglect, particularly at the intersections of gender, poverty & isolation, and may better be described as structural coercion to die—essentially the opposite of autonomy."

@ProfMarkTaubert @doctor_oxford I have attended. It is holy ground. There are deep, unspoken emotions for the one preparing to leave. Deep lessons for the ones that remain. Dying was the sacred part of living. It still is.

@ProfMarkTaubert @doctor_oxford The age old custom of sitting with the dying confirms that suffering differs; emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Accompanying the dying soothes the first two. Palliative care soothes the third. Myths abound to justify euthanizing the vulnerable. We can do better.

Dear @Keir_Starmer #AssistedDying would mark a fundamental shift to the patient-doctor relationship and diminish the shared humanity of us all. Every life has value. Stand for Justice and for the vulnerable. Vote against the bill today.
Dr Stuart Flanagan@Dr_Stuart

Dear @Keir_Starmer: the #assisteddying bill promises choice, but offers only coercion, anxiety and fear. It would be a fundamental shift in the Patient-Doctor relationship. Make good your promise to the electorate - more investment in palliative and social care services.

I’ve just been sent this by a friend. I’m incredibly proud of my parents for bravely telling @BBCNews their story & why they believe the #AssistedDyingBill will put vulnerable people at risk.

**Assisted Dying** Friday's parliamentary vote on @kimleadbeater's Private Member's Bill risks introducing such a profound change to the fabric of society. While I understand that the subject is highly emotive, I believe the risks associated with legalising assisted suicide far outweigh the presumed benefits. It is a subject I have written about and been interview on before. Here are several reasons I am concerned about this bill: 🧵1/

This is ludicrously idiotic. Her bill itself, in sections 24(3) and 29(2) respectively, changes the Suicide Act (1961) and Births and Deaths Registration Act (1953), and in section 29(1) also changes the interpretation of certain parts of the Coroners and Justice Act (2009)!
BBC Radio 4 Today@BBCr4today

"The concept of a slippery slope, I will dismiss that, because once this bill is passed... The bill cannot be changed." Labour MP Kim Leadbeater responds to concerns that, if passed, restrictions in the assisted dying bill will be amended over time. #R4Today

Proponents of AD point to the limited scope of the Bill: terminal illness. But once the principle behind suicide prevention has been set aside, once any part of the ground has been ceded - not only to allow suicide but to assist it - we have lost something we may not get back.

The oldest trick in the book by politicians who want to legalise assisted suicide is to discredit opposition as being religious Opposition increasingly comes from all directions including 350+ disability rights organisation in the UK - & not one is religious. #AssistUsToLive
BuDS Disability Service@BuDs_UK

Every disabled-led organisation in the UK has rejected assisted suicide - none of them are religious. It is a cheap and nasty trick to characterise opponents of AS as religously-motivated. Listen to us - every person eligible for AS is a disabled person. theguardian.com/society/2024/n…

@tristanjbarber @kimleadbeater @libertyhq If you are saying in your last tweet that Doctor-assisted suicide should be available for all then this is libertarian viewpoint I profoundly disagree with. Autonomy does not trump Justice but needs to be balanced with it in my view.

@tristanjbarber @kimleadbeater @libertyhq As you have probably seen many of the polls have been funded by Dignity In Dying who have sought to shape public opinion on this topic for over a decade. Hence the euphemism of Assisted Dying rather than Assisted Suicide.
