Let’s not forget that even if this is approved, people with the condition still get to choose whether to use it.

I believe the people who it affects most should have the right to choose. The issue for me is that unless we make end of life care free and of good quality, people who have worked hard to leave something for their family may choose to end their lives early for financial reason, which is unacceptable. I hope this is addressed under CHC changes as the bill progresses.

After a decade of bemoaning underfunding of the NHS, long waiting times for diagnosis and even longer waits for treatment or surgery, staff shortages and health rationing social workers suddenly decide that all is well and that decisions to end life, or more appropriately assisted suicide, are always going to be made with the full involvement of patients and their families and that there is absolutely no possibility that decisions will be made while people haven’t given informed consent to die. That ultimately two
doctors only one of whom will be seen by a judge is an adequate safeguard to mitigate against poor decision making. And if the person themselves is unable to meet the judge an “independent” person will sign the petition for the court to approve their death. Sounds familiar? The Mental Health Act does ensure that doctors make the right decisions in the best interest of the person they want to detain doesn’t it? AMHPs as the independent overseers always consult nearest relatives appropriately and have in depth conversations to obtain their agreement don’t they? AMHPs always have all of the information about the person they will approve for detention and have fully formed and the best picture of who they are, what they have experienced and always endure that if people object this is clearly documented and the person’s wishes are respected. Hollywood deaths with Hollywood sentiments and deaths in lovely rooms with flowers and music and family and friends joyously saying goodbye is not going to be the real life scenario. And social workers thinking they will play a big part in decisions made and will support families and ensure the person assisted with their suicide is treated decently and with dignity will find out they are an insignificant part of the process. But of course deep down social workers know that this Bill doesn’t ensure informed consent and doesn’t share the power to end life decisions with patients and families. Doctors can never say with certainty that a person in all circumstances only will have six months to die. Why do social workers think they may?

People who support state sanctioned suicide, for what “assisted dying” actually it is always based their arguments on the perfect scenario. It’s never the example of the person without family support living in poverty who has had limited contact with medical services and whose condition is deemed not to be compatible with a life of “quality”. Oh and the always unsaid prejudice that they are a “drain” on health and care budgets. Go talk to my mum who lives in a country where she is visited daily by qualified professionals at home, who has a weekly medical appointment at home if she chooses it, who has social support to enhance her daily living and whose pain management has never been determined by cost. She is the other side of the story. Somewhat ironic too given as social workers we are seen as pivotal in suicide prevention but there you go the usual kneejjerk trend chasing social work narrative that avoids nuance.
