rodlux@Wen many people, including myself will find this hard. The prospect of people suffering and being frightened I find really disturbing, epsecially when at least some of that could have been avoided via #assisteddying. Life is precious but so is quality of life, even in the final chapter.

No idea how to paste this better but disappointed that this bill on assisted dying didn't pass.
I understand the emotions on both sides. But I'd want the choice, and think others should have it too. The thought of not being able to have the same right an animal has to be put out of my misery or put my kith and kin at risk of prosecution of helping me to travel where it's legal...it just isn't right.

#Scotland has voted against #assisteddying. This is a very emotional subject, and I am sure those on both sides of the debate were heart felt in their opinions and honest. In the end though, I feel more for those who are facing their end of life and are now worried about how peaceful that will be. We should be about removing fear and bringing peace to people in the final stages of life.
WenParliament rejects assisted dying legislation
Speaking to journalists after leaving the chamber, McArthur said he was “devastated” by the result, adding the system “has been failing dying Scots for too long” and that many will feel let down by the result.

Richard R LeeThe utter folly of the #assisteddying debate and voting hysteria never seems to end in spite of us now living in a #ClimateApocalypse of our own making. Hundreds of millions with suffer aguishing deaths in the coming years, but I don’t expect the #NannyState to give a toss for any of them. This debate is about control, not about respect for an individuals choice to terminate their life. #WakeUp you fools! https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/mar/17/scottish-parliament-votes-against-legalising-assisted-dying?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
