@Alfurian @murdo_fraser They don’t really have a clue - both my parents and in-laws benefited from good palliative care - but all really suffered and were not there in last weeks of their lives - know what I’d like to be free to choose. This needs revisited with sensible safeguards

@murdo_fraser I got to watch my dad die in a nappy with no idea who or where he was with two kinds of dementia. I got to watch my mum have a breakdown caring for him 24/7 for 5 years. She got 2hrs then 4 hrs support a week from a charity. NOTHING from the government. People deserve a choice.

Last night’s vote to comprehensively reject assisted suicide in Scotland was the 3rd time Holyrood has said no. Despite a glitzy, well-funded, celebrity-endorsed campaign in support, MSPs looking at the facts simply weren’t persuaded (1/2) bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

this needs to come back - my parents and my in laws - had great palliative care - but there came a stage when this was best option for the patient. I know what option I would like to choose . We should be able to choose when we exit the stage. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
