- Actress turned carer and campaigner Susan Hampshire discusses the debate on assisted dying in parliament after a petition backed by Dame Esther Rantzen gathered more than 200,000 signatures.
There have been protests outside Parliament from groups supporting both sides of the debate.
Susan says her sister had the "most horrendous" last weeks of her life and that "people should have a choice about the end of their lives".

It is our right to choose how we die. Others, including religious people have NO RIGHT to tell others how to live and die.
Have they not heard of the Liverpool Pathway? What about Midazalam and Morphine? It's been happening for a long time without patients permission.
It’s their life. If they want it to end, who are any of us to argue with them?
when does the right to die become an obligation to die?
God gave them their lives, which means we belong to God and we will return to Him when God wills.
@@nasmabegum7563That’s great and all but the government is secular. What is an actual argument.
I agree - but never forget: politicians and their ilk always start getting ideas. As long as people are vigilant and don't allow eugenics and euthanasia of the "unworthy" in through the back door. That's the only thing that concerns me.
@@AmanuelAlelegn "secular".
For the terminally ill and people mamed in accidents that don't want to live any more yes.
We don’t allow pets to suffer so why let humans suffer the same way
Many vets are refusing to put animals to sleep probably because they're thinking about income reduction
Natural end of life care often involves regulated pain relief and sedation which in my case was a huge relief for my mother passing of cancer and other related issues at nearly 86 years. She did pass very relaxed. It's very difficult for families. I was fortunate enough for my mother to be with her 24 hours a day to make sure she had exactly what she needed and worked closely with the doctors and nurses. I do feel there is more that can be done in relation to end of life options to relieve suffering which definitely needs to be looked into, but very unsure as to whether the option to end life is the answer.
It should obviously be a fundamental human right
Humans are ultimately selfish. That’s why so many people are against this because they can’t bear to live without their loved ones. Grief is a part of life. People need to grow up about it and be less selfish.
I Couldn't agree more! So many self righteous whingers demanding others suffer pain, I don't understand how any rational person can be so spiteful.
I think the reason so many people are against it is that it will open the floodgates to ego enhanced doctors and greedy relatives , just look at the numbers of people killed in nursing homes over the last 4 years , people who would have survived a flu bug killed in their beds because of lies told to us by a psychotic government, and now the truth is out no one wants to talk about it.
Telling how many people here are skillful at turning the issue of compassion around. But, instead of pushing their questionable concern, why are the hard-right not calling for the elderly to live their lives out with decent, well-funded, care? Sadly, as with attack on the disabled, do not some hard-hearted people see granny as a burden on the state?
My husband suffered for 7wks in agony before he died, it was so cruel having to watch him and not be able to help,I have flash back's nearly a year on and I still see his pain etched on his face
Only if it includes downing street & Parliament...
Just the old and mentally ill who claim monies from the government.
Sick people on here pushing it with bs
It’s a yes from me, as long it’s the wish of the dying person
Boycott the media
Absolutely 🙏
My lovely sister and brother died of brain tumours and I really miss them so much, they were given morphine for the pain but, in the end the Dr's take it into their own hands to increase the dosage until the body can't take anymore and it's not right, my brother and sister should have had the right to choose.. Godbless anyone who decides that enough is enough...
It should be allowed everywhere !!!
As long as its voluntary and its confirmed that the person has a terminal illness, than there's no sane reason for a government not to allow it; not allowing it would be unnecessarily cruel
My mum was in a hospice dying of cancer. Then they said she had to go elsewhere. So we were frantically looking for somewhere that would take her. Apparently hospices are there to stabilise the treatment not for dying in. However, she died that same night.
For me this saves having to get a passport and the cost of travelling to Switzerland. It will be safe guarded of course but will mean I won't have to travel abroad to end my life. Hopefully this can be up and running in a year or two.
It’s our life. It’s our right.
So listening to the news this morning they went on about how our animals are given a dignified ending, but the same people would argue that to end a criminals life for such things as murder is wrong and also painful for them (eye witness accounts in america) and people protest to have executions stopped in that country and i assume the same medication is used? So if its painful and undignified for them how can it be dignified or painless for our elderly or unwell
The cruelty of those who want to control other people by stopping them ending their own lives, is beyond belief, Once your affairs have been sorted, Prolonging a miserable existence is ridiculous, Who among us are so important that we must be preserved? NONE. Arrogance, cowardice and stupidity
👍100%
The government makes it hard for people to have agency in their lives...why should anyone be surprised that they deny people the dignity of deciding when to leave this life. Especially for this current shower of Tory incompetents, cruelty is the whole point.
We don't let our pets suffer, so why should humans suffer in pain to the end?
Yes I agree lets start with Lord David Cameron first.
Before hearing what is being done in Canada I would have said yes... now its 10000% NO. Way too much of a slippery slope.
I live in Canada, what's being done?
Height of selfishness, disguised as "deep care". Dont take in ur hand what belongs to God. Once we open that door, there is no turning back
Assisted dying happened all the way through covid… it’s just that those who were ‘assisted’ sorry ‘made comfortable’ didn’t want to die.
650 candidates lined up in SW1.
Of course people who have no possibility of living the rest of their lives pain free with no possibility of recovery be helped to die. We do not let pets live in this country in constant pain so why do we do this to people?
Do pets make this choice or is it made for them?
I am rather against treating people like animals.
It will come, it may as well come sooner rather than later.
I used to be for this but after seeing Canadas M.A.I.D sevice, i'm gonna say no.
Please IHFORM hourselves about the impact of MAiD in Canada, where doctors offer MAiD without request to people livihg in poverty.
Be aware that euthanadia programmes are IHEBITABLY expansive. So in Holland the mentally (NOT TERMINALLY)ill are eligible.
Yes, can we assist most MP'S
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, but under the condition that the person(s) who assist do not risk being accused of murder afterwards.
Of course.
Following divoc seniccav that were not seniccav but actually illegally administered GMOs, and the Post Office Horizon prosecution and imprisoning of innocent individuals, there is absolutely no way the state can be given the power to assist people with dying. Too much of that was done with DNRs and "end of life care" for people that would otherwise have lived if it were not for the perceived need to free up hospital beds. Our politicians and health service have demonstrated that they are completely untrustworthy and there is no return.
🎯
Spot on!! No one should be given this power. We humans as a race don’t have the ability to wield this power in a just way.
Not if it ends up like Canada who euthanized 3% of population so far and young teens feeling a bit depressed can do this without parental consent. Should only be under very very strict guidelines for terminally ill people who are expected to have only months left and have an illness that is known to cause a lot of physical suffering
💯
It will become a mandatory 'choice' for certain groups.
yes it should 100%
No it’s not a normal thing
Assisted dying would attract many of today's young men if it was legal.
For life, for them, is daily torture in this kind of society caused by a legion of past and present politicians' socially oppressive policies.
Plus, psychological pain can be just as bad if not worse, than tge physical.
Ignorant perspectives abound in this video.
Yes
No
No this shouldn’t be allowed, people will be signing up for this left right and centre, especially young people struggling mentally, this will be horrendous if it comes into effect
Same as Canada
Absolutely not
I feel for the people suffering, but who here could kill another person? 😢 It's a heartbreaking problem
Yes! If terminally ill.
Definitely NOT!
May I ask why?
@@squill4883it will become a slippery slope and utilised under the wrong circumstances. Imagine after 30 years of having a such a policy that the government will “assist” depressed 16 year olds. It is a doorway to a culture that glorifies death.
@@imperialsecuritybureau6037 . Christianity is a death cult, and the most vocal opponents to this policy seem to be religious fanatics. For anyone who has deeply-felt objections to it...don't do it. Your TH-cam handle seems to betray your affection for authoritarian state control. As our current administration seeks to dictate every aspect of our lives...I suppose it's no surprise that they wish to also control how and when we die.
@@imperialsecuritybureau6037they’d never assist depressed 16 year olds. They’d just assist people with terminal cancer.
@@imperialsecuritybureau6037you simply don’t allow anyone to do it unless there are physical reasons for it. People with mental conditions don’t get the option to use the service. Problem solved
YES
J'ai écouté "A vos Affaires", je vous offre un conseil : n'investissez pas dans les pharmaceutiques.
Ho we are to do this?
Get a pro natural death advocate not one person
Everyone should have the right to decide for themselves. The right to die will be inevitable in an aging society because it will become a mainstream issue
when does a right become a responsibility?
Susan ,a great person.
This cannot be right. It could ultimately lead to more sinister purposes with all the deceit in the world. There are strong pain releiving options.
Yes it should be allowed in the UK
I think it should be written into our Power of Attorney (health and welfare)..or even into our Wills.
It’s awful to think that when we are at our most vulnerable, we may have no other choice but to suffer painful agonies into death. Death is frightening, but it’s a blessed release when it becomes painfully inevitable. I would want to die with dignity (not in agony and fear) with my loving family around me. I am a Catholic
It should be. But should be strictly regulated & monitored. We have a fairly reliable GP system & GMC. So, it's definitely possible.
Yes.
Absolutely inhumane to make people suffer if they don't want to go through it.
They wouldn't do it to horses, but they happily do to humans, on the pretense they're being, "kind."
Height of selfishness, disguised as "deep care". Dont take in ur hand what belongs to God. Once we open that door, there is no turning back
Amen 🙏🏿
This is disturbing, and disgraceful. Life is precious.
Not for the one who is suffering. Have some empathy ffs! 🙄
@@startracker5895On another thread he celebrates migrants drowning…
No because of what is happening in Canada
They won’t allow it here because our government will lose money - that’s it.
My First Kiss is undercover Costco business hours on the prison the ladies have married with two, Paula made it to put my Polo race with my younger brother they need to identify them through the equation
Yes, it should.
Yes it should
If they want to pay me Tony kubacki Muhammad Zaria European lesbian handcuffed to see that then pay me for them not even to come closer 24-hour Stop Believing which security of men not your battle kidnap me anymore on my life
Of course it should. But the problem lies in it being a legal minefield.
It works in Switzerland and Belgium, why it shouldn't work here too?
@alinemichele7486 Different cultures work in different ways. I agree if robust legal guidelines are drawn up and enforced then it should be allowed in the UK.
@@ianpodmore9666 I agree but the point is who are we to decide what others do with their own life. I knew someone who was terminally ill and wanted to end his life as the pain was unbearable, could not keep any food and many more which I'm not going into. He couldn't bear it anymore and took his own life. I would also add that even people who decide to have assisted dying is a major decision and far from an easy one.
YES.
Pretty easy... Yes
I mean....there are no legal cases because the plaintiff would surely be....dead. No?
No!
Yes. We have it in Canada.
No, it feels cruel but it’s not our life’s it is given by God and will be taken by God in Gods time we are not cats or dogs
Amen 🙏🏿
Suffering is a part of life, and I think it is important to teach and guide people into how to cope with it in positive way, ascthey are growing up. No one lives without suffering. I just do not think it is right to ask others to aid and abet your suicide. +
“NO” stop trying to play God
No it's only God who can take a person's life.
I agree ✝️
gods
It’s already happened! Everyone that got the jab.
Can't disagree
No
Yes
No
