My Body My Choice ❤

Same goes for boys and MGM. Appaling it's still permitted.

My father died in agony waiting for his lung cancer to take him, nobody should have had control over his life but him, you don’t want assisted dying in you life fine, but keep your nose and principles out of mine.

[@AbdelraheemElbasheer-yx6oz]

Fair enough good point

[@al2642]

Of course. How we still debating about this?

[@Chav-j2z]

Assisted suicide: neoliberalisms FINAL product. Choices: neoliberalisms business model. One sure way to expand and grow business is the celebritification of your product.

[@andybeans5790]

Typically dishonest arguments from those trying to deprive others a choice, very similar to those used in defence of religion.

[@janewest2845]

Religiously motivated groups that also campaign to restrict abortion will be campaigning against this .

[@Devious_Dave]

Yes, it's about choice. Someone gaining positives from watching another die in pain is alien to me but your freedom to follow your (presumably) religious beliefs shouldn't impose unnecessary suffering on others.

ngl i just think of the assisted suicide meme

[@brianmacadam4793]

I am astonished that Dr. Griffiths would accuse others of being naive. I watched as my aunt had a very difficult "end of life". She would tell people around her that she was dying and in pain, yet the medical system did not allow her any dignity in her death. I've seen difficult "end of life" experiences twice now and it was dreadful for everyone. There was NO hope of recovery, and no respect or dignity for the individual at the end of life. The doctor presumes that people will make naive decisions, when in fact the opposite will be true.

It was very patronising, but we think Andrew responded very well!
