Good. If there’s one thing that scares me shitless, it’s being unable to escape unbearable suffering.
Seriously. I’m only in my mid-thirties but I’d sign a document tomorrow if it secured my right to end myself if I’m unable to do basic things like eat, use a toilet and live without restriction.
Ok maybe not tomorrow. But I’d want to do it quick before the inevitable senility kicks in!
I get that most objections will be on religious grounds but with appropriate checks I believe this is a good thing to have in place.
I didnt see much about religion from a cursory glance at BBCs interviews after the vote, mostly objections to it lacking what those consider enough safeguards.
The objections were mainly by disability rights campaigners.
