- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedThese messages were a conversation between my wife and I, 7 days after our 5-year-old son Hugh was diagnosed with cancer. Tomorrow MPs draw names in the Private Members’ Bill ballot. One MP could decide that parents matter. One MP could decide that when a child is diagnosed
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedLIVE NOW: The assisted dying bill has divided Britain along philosophical, religious and ethical lines. Coming together to discuss the existential problem of euthanasia are: philosopher @Docstockk, @RabbiRomain and journalists @soniasodha & @DAaronovitch.
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedReplying to @OtherHalfOrg and @Tanni_GTThe utilitarian advantages of speed (8.5 mins to cardiac arrest), efficient planning (can line ops up), and an opt out system like ours are readily apparent. But the ethical issues need careful thought not a shoddy PMB and ministers with all the power.
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedEsther Rantzen says MPs need to "invoke the Parliament Acts" and force an identical bill, with all its flaws, on to the statute books. They're looking for 200 MPs willing to do that to their most vulnerable constituents. A 🧵on their plan 1/
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedVery pleased to get a very positive review of my new book against assisted death in the Telegraph today. Do Not Go Gentle by Kathleen Stock: 4-star review telegraph.co.uk/books/non-fict…
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedThe Joint Parliamentary Committee hearing input on Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying regime has met twice with four witnesses. University of Toronto Professor Dr. Trudo Lemmens is an authority on Canadian health law and bioethics. He cautioned the group of 10 MPs and five
00:00 - Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedReminder: the powers which the Bill so liberally bestows on ministers - including to change every aspect of the NHS - are largely unfettered. They can be used again and again, till ending people’s lives permeates every aspect of the NHS and society. @Docstockk is clear sighted‘Assisted death will change everything. But what will society look like in 15, 20, 50 years’ time, when this is the sanctioned way of dealing with elderly people?’ @Docstockk on the ‘progressive’ march towards moral disaster

- Tanni Grey-Thompson reposted'This is an atrociously worded bill!' @WillKingston admits that whilst he supports assisted dying in principle, he has criticised the wording of the bill for lacking adequate safeguards and believes it should be scrapped.
00:00 - Tanni Grey-Thompson reposted"Organ donation after euthanasia starting with anesthesia at home is legal in The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and Spain" Read that headline! They're anaesthetizing you at home. Then they take your warm, living body to an operating room to remove your organs. You die of waking
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedCanada euthanized a man for partial blindness in the latest suicide-by-doctor story. CTV's framing? Not that these stories are horrifyingly common, but that Alberta's incoming laws to protect the vulnerable and suicidal would "eliminate the choice of those with degenerative
- Tanni Grey-Thompson repostedWhen the High Court was stripped out and replaced with a panel, supporters said they had looked to Spain for inspiration...I cannot stress enough how dangerous this trajectory is for disabled & traumatized people esp women. Putting #euthanasia increasingly on the table decreases the perception that even extreme trauma can heal and that life as a disabled person is worth living and deserves support.
