Replying to @OtherHalfOrg and @Tanni_GT

Reminder: 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
