I will forever be grateful to James. He got me through some difficult times in the 90s when he was on talk radio. My husband had left me with my young baby daughter. The night times were the loneliest but James antics on the radio every night really got me through those dark times. Thank you James, you really do not know how special you are ❤
My father had cancer , they couldn’t control his pain. He was in constant agony. An artery burst and he bled to death. He said to me if he had been a dog they would’ve put him to sleep. I was there with him at the end and it still haunts me. I know people have concerns but you have to be there and see that not everyone has a pleasant end. Let people have a choice.
I totally agree I lost my mum when I was 8 due to cancer. I am now 50 and remember her rotting inside out in great pain, the smell was awful. Not a day goes by when I don't think of her. Watching her die the way she did I will never forget. I do understand the arguments on both sides but I agree it should be individual choice.
My mother died in her sleep quite unexpectedly. Awful for us, but for her, it was not, unpleasant. My stepfather however had terminal oesophical cancer which was just awful. Putting somebody down is a pretty awful description..Helping somebody to find peace from appalling pain cannot be a bad thing.
Thank you Mr. Whale. My mum diagnosed at 86 with a mortal brain tumour/abcess refused any therapy. As a nurse she knew it would not get better, ever. In Canada we have M.A.I.D. , medical assistance in dying. Although surreal, it was professional and efficient. My mum was able to live her life to the very last second with happiness and freewill, and we were with her. I am forever grateful for the ministry and professionals that helped.
Well said James. Walk in his shoes before questioning his opinion. I’ve experienced 2 cancer diagnosis and a possible third is being monitored so I’m incredibly relieved I will now be able to make the decision to end my life should it become unbearable. Big hugs to James. ❤
Nobody is questioning his opinion or his right to end his life on his terms. What they are questioning is, if he is unable to do so, then why should the state intervene to help him on the way?
dignity noun The quality or state of being worthy of esteem or respect. Where is the dignity in dying? People are only aware of esteem or respect when they are alive, unless people have come back from beyond the grave to tell you different?
I entirely respect what James is going through and how he's still out there working despite his many many restrictions. I've been clapping him on, fwiw. Thing is though...do you not consider what it's like for those of us who already have to live under conditions that he and yourself describe may describe as "the loss of dignity"? We do this over decades with no chance of relief or cure and no pain medication that works. There are already undercover options of relief for those enduring terminal cancer. But don't speak to me about "dignity" unless you've lived under those parameters for decades.
I don't always agree with James but that doesn't stop my admiration for him. He teaches me to find pleasure in the things that matters to me even when tomorrow is not fully assured. He's an amazing guy
I'm 53 and was told last year that I have terminal cancer and have less than six months. Well I'm still here and plain to be here for as long as I can but I'm with James on this matter when I get into a state that I can not look after myself and I'm not having a life then I should have the choice.
I'm a retired RN of 40 years living in Orlando. My late husband was given a 6 month life expectancy after going blind from chemotherapy. He suffered terribly but lived another 2 years. He spent the last week with broken ribs from falling due to confusion. He couldn't even watch TV or read. Luckily, his oncologist gave him Fentanyl patches. I wouldn't want to suffer the way he did. America has 14 states that assist in terminal deaths. Unfortunately, the South doesn't have any and won't in the near future.
@@colleenpeck6347 I am so so sorry for the loss of your husband and all you both went through. I was widowed aged 21 and it's not an easy road. How awful that the chemotherapy caused him blindness. I'm glad you got those extra months together. There is another side for some of us, like myself, who live every day over decades with a similar quality of life as some with terminal cancer. I've gone long periods with paralyses, unable to speak, without enough brain capacity to even comprehend what position I'm laying in. Morphine patches don't touch the pain. I'm afraid I have been on and off for over 40 years unable to watch TV and read. Up to the day of her death my beloved grandmother in her 80s could do more than myself, hough she was dosed up to the eyeballs on morphine. There is no cure for me but this eternal pre-death stage. In the 80s and 90s I used to beg to be allowed to die as I was suffering so much. I'm still going and the quality of my life is even worse... people like myself need the options/support to LIVE, not to die. Professional carers and nurses have said that they have dreaded what state they'll find me in when coming in to my home and coming in to my hospital room. It has been very wearing on them. I appreciate that's not the same dynamic as your own beloved, but I was already left to die by medics and social support systems...just left. When appropriate social systems are in place, when appropriate palliative care is in place, etc, then allowing assisted death will be better placed to actually "assist". Just some thoughts from this side of the fence. Best wishes.
All the best to you @robn71. Perhaps have a consider what message it sends out to those of us who already cannot look after ourselves and don't have a life. Do you want to be dead before you live like myself and others? It's a choice...but perhaps you may find a more informed choice by looking at how others are already living/not living? You know what you can't endure...but so many others endure that same thing without any end in sight. x
@@inthegutterstaringathestars You've hit the nail on the head. Doctors have just been given the white card to snuff people out like never before, and some will revel in that power.
No one has the right to dictate how someone leads their lives and impose their morals. As James mentions a person will know instinctively when enough is enough and we must respect their wishes.
Alex .I am 82 years old hads a BILLIENT life,had COPD for 20 years .at present When I move I GASP to BREATH 7-8 times a day ,so I'm ready to look into this optiojn
My biggest regret in life is not having the bollox to help my mother die. I watched her suffer with MND and you would not put a dog through the suffering.
Keep the state out of it, it should be a personal matter between the patient and family, it goes against medical ethics and the Hippocratic oath for doctors to promote it, keep the corrupt judicial system out of it, like any other power the state yields this too will be abused, those suffering I wish you all the best
I am 9 years cancer free after a prognosis of having a year to live. My mother in law has dementia and asks the lord to take her, probably daily, but when you adk her about it she denys saying it. This bill needs a lot more scrutiny 🙏🕊️
My father had a horrible death last year with skin cancer eating his head away and I'm sure if he had the choice he would have taken the assisted suicide option. Death is never pretty and we are all going to die one day but to watch someone close to you suffer is tantamount to cruelty and neglect and it would be kinder to help them along the way once it has become inevitable and terminal. 😢
People suffer every day with chronic pain and illness, and the people caring for them have to watch that suffering, are we supposed to put them all down? Pain and suffering are not only a condition of the deathbed.
If you are laid in a hospital bed costing the system unnecessary money, they will be rid of you, one way or another, make no mistake about that. It's already happened on a massive scale, they have been given the white card to exterminate people.
I'm 57 mum 86 we changed dad's shitty nappies wiped his ass showered him for 2 years. He was a C.P.O. ON HMS DARING IN 1950s served 15 years. Got dementia died in hospital from blocked bowl he was 93 he was too frail for operation. Sad way to go.
@andrewlilley3660 life is but a dream.mind blowing ,we live we die.and then it's up or down but some poeple just stay in the middle. If you want to die then it should be up to that individual that's what most poeple think I'm guessing.
It took billions of years to get you here and when you return to dust billions of years will pass by. Revel in your time, every second is precious, live as long as you can, every painful second! You are alive for a reason, make your life count!
Nobody is saying that. IF they are able to carrying it out by themselves. However, that is not what is happening. They are expecting other people to end their lives for them.
And what does he say now? Not condoning what he did then but many were 'led up the garden path'. You can't blame some for having an opinion then - you need to direct your anger/frustration or questions at those billionaire elites, those in power [decision makers] and those medical & scientific professionals who fed the decision makes the lies.
I'm 44, was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. Had surgery and now undergoing chemotherapy. The hospital and all the staff there have been great. My local GP has not been good and see's me as a nuisance and I wouldn't be suprised, once this bill becomes law, that in the future they recommend me ending my life to save them the hassle of providing care.
It is a doctor's right to choose whether or not to carry out those wishes. No one elses. If they could carry it out for themselves it would not be an issue.
Having been the loving partner/husband/carer of a beautiful woman diagnosed with MS. I've experienced her indignity, her inability to express how uncomfortable she was sat in front of a gas fire, in her wheelchair, during summer with carers not born in the UK when I walked in from work. I, at that time, had never experienced being a father and having to wipe clean or toilet any baby or child but I had to experience doing it for her. At one stage everything got to me but it was a good day for her [she could talk and express and understand] and she asked what was wrong....we'd always been honest to each other...and I broke down [because of everything social services and the caring agency were doing to me - yes me not her although they were my main concerns] and I told her I wanted to end my life. Her reply "Take me with you" Oh yes I f'ing know for many even the hard working loving partners caring for those suffering a terminal illness it's bloody hard but sometimes those that are put their to help the partner and the suffer don't actually help but make life worse for both/all. Yes I'm all for Assisted Dying for the terminally ill so long as checks are in place but I'm against the authority having the ultimate decision when capacity is a affected. The family should either know and agree or deny but if there's no family....like many *I'm *afraid for the patient* - like the current judicial system, the policing and the elected government with so many failings in the NHS and councils {Calocane, Letby, grooming gangs to name a few} I don't trust them and I think there's millions who think the same. That's why 'the power' should be given to the individual or defining power [if that's the correct term] to the family not the authorities. If you're upset with my words I apologize but know the pain you read above still hurts almost 15 years later. I don't need/want sympathy I only ask you understand or even try to put yourself in a position of a terminally ill person or their partner or family.
@@andrewlilley3660 Yup. How many people were sent home from hospital with DNR's that could have lived? How many people died because they stopped all treatments because of bat flu? So that doctors and nurses had more time to post their dance video on Tiktok.
I agree with James I have had cancer and was lucky but have known a lot of people including my parents who have suffered and if had had a choice would have wanted to end it
Both my parents died through cancer, well not the cancer, adverse reactions to the treatment. We as a family cared for them both at home. Neither of them asked to go even in their pain (which was well managed) & we children had wonderful memories of their last days, reminiscing, singing, dancing. They would never have given up that time. But I would not even have my elderly (20yrs) cat put down. We cared for her til her time came, she wasn't in pain just old and her time. This bill needs a lot of work 🙏🕊️
Nice to see a topic not be overly politicised for a change. Notice how much more constructive it is giving MPs a free vote and time to consult their constituents. If only the Winter Fuel Allowance or farmer's inheritance tax was approached this way...
This is a very dangerous bill to pass when we already have a dangerous gov. It is sad. We recently had to have two cats put to sleep but they could not tell us except by their eyes and their sense of knowing. It's heartbreaking but greater care and pain management is better. We are not in fact pets
I partly agree with this for terminally ill people. My concern is it could get abused. As you know this government wants the OAPs who are a burden on our state. The seed could be planted?
It's so go to hear the taboo being spoken about. When you are diagnosed with cancer, many people would sooner cross the street, rather than discuss it with you. I do under the feelings of James and others who are terminally ill. But I do worry about where it will go in the future.
This is incredibly sad, being widowed I was probably in self denial when my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and kept thinking just maybe she would improve and eventually we be back to normal, but on the other hand if someone is in a lot of pain and discomfort then why prolong the pain and suffering, I suppose i’m on the fence with this one
It should be an individual choice - those who want years of end of life medical care should have it, but it should not be forced upon those who don't want it such as James and such as myself.
I watched my beloved father take 5 days to die in a hospice, Theres not a day goes by that I dont think about him and feel guilty for not helping him to end his life as he wanted. Several family members objected and for fear of jail I betrayed him, I will forever feel guilty. If a person is terminal and in pain it is their right to end their suffering. What right does anyone have to deny terminally ill people to linger and suffer. There are strategies to be put in place that can control preditors etc.
But he is not asking for control, is he? He is asking a doctor, who took a hippocratic oath to "first do no harm" to end his life. How is this taking "control", when he is passing responsibility for the end of his life to somebody else?
@@snowyowel7961everyone has their own choice in this, and it's never going to happen to someone who says "I don't want euthanasia" as that is then murder. However, if someone chooses this themselves with a sound mind, then who are we to tell them no?
@KingDomsKingdom85 This is my second attempt. I was blocked. It says adults over 18 that is very young They should be given the best pain relief at that age. New treatment and medication is improving all the time. I did write more first time but probably get blocked so seems pointless. I will say however it should not have been decided by mps it should have gone to the country to decide in my opinion.
I looked after dementia suffers for years. One lady had written a living will, out lining her final wishes, should she be diagnosed with this illness. However, the dr felt because she had, as he classed it "happy dementia". That her final wishes ie withdraw of all medication was denied her.
Wait a couple of years and they will relax the legislation and your sons and daughter will be allowed to opt in because they are depressed, just like in Canada.
and it is part of a so much bigger agenda but you are certainly on the right lines. This is not an altruistic matter and it has some very sinister backers pushing it
That's why I'm conflicted and also why I'm reluctantly against this bill. I do believe that terminally ill people should be able to go out on their own terms if they want to but I simply don't trust the state to keep this limited to terminally ill people.
I'm going to try to push for allowing it for those with severe PTSD. I had a misfortune in the lottery in the decillions to one in odds. Never happened to a person before. Completely altered my reality. Life is stupid. I want out of this BS..
@@KingDomsKingdom85 "Stop with the sensationalism." Why? Those in favour of it are happy to use sensationalism and manipulate peoples feelings with specific cases, why is it wrong when others use the flip side? You think the state will respect peoples wishes and not erode any safeguards that protect patient choice?
Won't be long before Labour and / or the NHS removes the safeguards. In a few years I suspect any old or depressed etc. person will be eligible (encouraged) for termination
Well they are freezing the elderly. They are imprisoning political dissidents for posting memes. Now encouraging the terminally ill to end their lives. Sound familiar? Were wars not fought against govts that done this sort of thing?
Why dont people pay attention to the bill,nobody is recommending death or killing anybody what part of self administered is too difficult to comprehend ? It may take two years or more to be made law .
We all have a terminal condition!! It's called life. Utterly selfish to think of nobody but yourself. Who cares about the thousands who will be pressured to die instead of getting adequate support and palliative care.
I am with James it’s about the person my neighbour he got terminal cancer he is 85 and he says life goes on known him 16years fantastic neighbour and I got to say I’m devastated his wife got cancer she’s been given the all clear my brother had cancer three times and it’s scary but I’m with James I like him love his show it’s hard but it is about the person
This may well become law, but when you consider what level of bureaucracy would be involved, you'd most likely die during the process of trying to get assisted dying. As for this myth about palliative care, don't rely on that. You may be in an area like mine where you're lucky to get much help from that direction. My GPs are hopeless as well. I've been terminal for a few years, so my experience is current.
I lost my Mum to cancer 2023. For the last four months of her life she relied on carers to do the most basic personal tasks for her and for me to hand feed her with what little she was eating by that stage. In the last month of her life she was confined to bed and had to be washed, diapers changed by carers and all other tasks carried out by me. On a couple of occasions it was night time and I had to step in to clean her up after a bowel moment. This annoyed her greatly as she never wanted to be a burden on anybody and I know the indignity she suffered when her only child had to clean her and change her like a baby. I dealt with it willingly and as gently as I could but she had been a strong woman her whole life and her final months were full of suffering. She told me on several occasions even before she was ill that if she ever got to the stage where she was helpless that she wanted to be able to just die pain free at a time that she wanted. Sadly that didn't happen but she would have been very much in favour of assisted dying as am I if the same thing happens to me. I must clarify that at all times the family GP, the district nurses, the Hospice and Marie Curie nurses, the carers and all the others giving support were angels and gave her and me enormous support throughout what was an very difficult time.
I'm sorry about your Mum. I had to make the decision last year to stop treatment that was artificially keeping my mother alive beyond what was endurable. Well done you for caring enough to tend to those most basic needs - not many do. But you know, right, that some of us have to live decades in that same way? Are you saying you wish to die before you have to live like me?
My goodness they have to read from a prepared notes. I remember when MPs were able to manage speaking without any ready prepared notes. Dennis Skinner could talk for ages without any prepared notes.
I am in favour of assisted dying! Why because My Mum was persuaded into signing a DNR ( do not resuscitate) by the palliative care team in hospital. Soon after my mum died I saw her in the chapel in the hospital and was really up set when I saw her distorted pain on her face, showing how much pain she was in when she died. That will stay with me for the rest of my life. So if the patients that is diagnosed with a terminal illness, then we should respect their decision when they choose to go.
Respectfully with all respect to this gentleman..,,...doctors have been doing their jobs for years ....of which we av no knowledge .....leave it to them not governments .....please ....respectfully....
@MrMarkhall1. But humans suffer just as much as animals...perhaps even more. I'm 100% with James Whale. ❤Why put up with continuous pain or gasping for breath until you suffocate, or being completely paralized except for your brain which is totally aware of what is happening. And people bringing some God into the argument saying that only he can decide when the final moment is right is cruel beyond words. If there were a God, would he punish you because you have shortened your life after so much suffering. If people believe in that kind of cruel heartless God then you can keep him. So, if one chooses to suffer to the end, so it be, but everyone should be free to decide for themselves. I hope this law goes through.
@@KingDomsKingdom85 Which is determined by government. As an unhappy teenager, I took an overdose and ended up in hospital. Am I glad I survived? Yes. Life has had its ups and downs, but am I glad I survived that overdose 40+ years ago and am still alive now? YES.
"Palative care".....what a joke. Everyone should have a right to say when they should clock out and maintain dignity. Having watched a parent be failed by the NHS and essentially killed slowly by them and the government during covid years....im all for the bill
Nobody is saying they shouldn't. People are questioning that death being facilitated by others. Your parent was failed by the NHS, yet you trust them to end other people's life without issue?
@inthegutterstaringathestars You miss the point...the NHS dont do that. Well they do, by defacto and neglect. If time is up it should be quick, easy and painless. Not the drawn out afair it is now. That or take matters into own hands or worse ask others to aid which is "criminal"
@@TheGarethLusk It will not be the NHS carrying out the ending of life? What will they send the old person into prison to get shanked? Unless you suffer a serious stroke or heart attack, is death ever "quick, easy and painless."? This is what people are told in order to make them feel better about it but it is not necessarily true. Look at prisoners who are executed. It can be a process that takes hours and the person still feels a lot of pain.
I have a 'living will' which I signed when living abroad. Are they not accepted in the UK? To me, they seem so logical and reasonable. They only discuss the treatment(or lack of) one would like to receive when one is in no position to inform the medics oneself and when medics are sure they cannot help you.
my body my choice, the risk is there will be those who will go down the path of DIY, (suicide) I KNOW I WOULD and the risk is they could fail in their attempt without the help of assisted dying,, I would say try and stop me, even knowing the risk of failure, it should be there for those that face a long , hard , painful death, why should others that don't know you have a voice in your choices, I am sure they all feel very noble in protecting life but when the end of life is inevitable due to something like cancer for instance, why and how could you insist they have to suffer, you would never let it happen to an animal..your pets, so how can you square that up with humans going through that pain and suffering, maybe to protect others feeling, never mind the dying person, so we should sign our consent after having a conversation with doctors confirming the inevitable diagnoses of death and then be left to decide when things are too much......if your going to die anyway due to illness let it be on your own timeline not the bloody illness that could give you the most horrendous of deaths, I watched my mother cry and suffer through cancer, I have worked in care, I have seen the pain I have heard the pain, it is inhumane !!!
This is an impossible and difficult issue. I can see both Alex’s and also James point of view. I watched my wife pass slowly over two years with terminal cancer during the Covid period. I did have to carry our toilet duties which is difficult. I’m honestly not sure which way I’d vote on this, there’s problems both ways. Alex, l have noted you have great empathy and you hide it well with your professional presentation. Thanks for all your input. Best regards

Why restrict it to the terminally ill? It's discrimination against the rest of us. It should be available on demand to all. A relative of mine jumped in front of a train, which is much worse for the train driver, all the delayed passengers, those who had to clear up afterwards, the family members, etc..
"Why restrict it to the terminally ill?" Because there's a huge difference between a terminally ill cancer patient being told their treatment no longer works and being mentally ill and not seeking treatment.
In fact there is a stronger argument to be made that legalising euthanasia could result in LESS suicides as there will MORE likely to seek help through doctors on whether they still have the will to live during the process.

I agree with Alex and it's refreshing to hear Alex say it . I don't trust anymore not since 2020.
I never have but since 2020 things took a definite nose dive, this is another milestone of despair, in my opinion.
No one has the right to dictate how someone leads their lives and impose their morals. As James mentions a person will know instinctively when enough is enough and we must respect their wishes.
No one has the right to ask other people to end their life. This is why we have laws against murder.

they have to walk in our shoes.
My biggest regret in life is not having the bollox to help my mother die. I watched her suffer with MND and you would not put a dog through the suffering.
god bless you, your life your choice xxxxxxx
Keep the state out of it, it should be a personal matter between the patient and family, it goes against medical ethics and the Hippocratic oath for doctors to promote it, keep the corrupt judicial system out of it, like any other power the state yields this too will be abused, those suffering I wish you all the best
The issue is a slippery slope, look at Canada.
We're all terminal. Just a case of when, not if.
Yes, but when the state gets involved the when will be a lot sooner.
I am 9 years cancer free after a prognosis of having a year to live. My mother in law has dementia and asks the lord to take her, probably daily, but when you adk her about it she denys saying it. This bill needs a lot more scrutiny 🙏🕊️
My father had a horrible death last year with skin cancer eating his head away and I'm sure if he had the choice he would have taken the assisted suicide option. Death is never pretty and we are all going to die one day but to watch someone close to you suffer is tantamount to cruelty and neglect and it would be kinder to help them along the way once it has become inevitable and terminal. 😢
Absolutely agree
People suffer every day with chronic pain and illness, and the people caring for them have to watch that suffering, are we supposed to put them all down?
Pain and suffering are not only a condition of the deathbed.
@andrewlilley3660 if you can take pain relief to ease it that's all well and good but if you are getting eating away with cancer that's different.
@@kevinadamson5768 is it the illness or the supposed cure that's killing them???
@andrewlilley3660 a bit of both I think.
It's our life, our choice!
No, it's never been your life or your choice, the state owns people.
If you are laid in a hospital bed costing the system unnecessary money, they will be rid of you, one way or another, make no mistake about that.
It's already happened on a massive scale, they have been given the white card to exterminate people.
The government has been assisting this for years so why are they debating it.
Or rather sanctioning it . The LPA is still being used

Going is always sad but it sounds like he fought until the end, what a precious life, respect and thanks to that man, inspirational in fact
It's up to you not a government
Dream on!
@andrewlilley3660 life is but a dream.mind blowing ,we live we die.and then it's up or down but some poeple just stay in the middle. If you want to die then it should be up to that individual that's what most poeple think I'm guessing.
@@Graeme-h4z Yes, the individual, it shouldn't then be facilitated by the state.

It’s not yours, mine or anyone’s right to tell you that you can’t end your life if you so wish. God love James such a fighter ❤
Nobody is saying that. IF they are able to carrying it out by themselves.
However, that is not what is happening. They are expecting other people to end their lives for them.
Yes, but when the state is involved in that decision things will turn very nasty indeed.

What did James say about those not taking the jab??
And what does he say now?
Not condoning what he did then but many were 'led up the garden path'. You can't blame some for having an opinion then - you need to direct your anger/frustration or questions at those billionaire elites, those in power [decision makers] and those medical & scientific professionals who fed the decision makes the lies.
Yep
What did he say?
I'm 44, was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. Had surgery and now undergoing chemotherapy. The hospital and all the staff there have been great. My local GP has not been good and see's me as a nuisance and I wouldn't be suprised, once this bill becomes law, that in the future they recommend me ending my life to save them the hassle of providing care.

If they could carry it out for themselves it would not be an issue.

😢❤🎉
Having been the loving partner/husband/carer of a beautiful woman diagnosed with MS. I've experienced her indignity, her inability to express how uncomfortable she was sat in front of a gas fire, in her wheelchair, during summer with carers not born in the UK when I walked in from work. I, at that time, had never experienced being a father and having to wipe clean or toilet any baby or child but I had to experience doing it for her.
At one stage everything got to me but it was a good day for her [she could talk and express and understand] and she asked what was wrong....we'd always been honest to each other...and I broke down [because of everything social services and the caring agency were doing to me - yes me not her although they were my main concerns] and I told her I wanted to end my life. Her reply "Take me with you"
Oh yes I f'ing know for many even the hard working loving partners caring for those suffering a terminal illness it's bloody hard but sometimes those that are put their to help the partner and the suffer don't actually help but make life worse for both/all.
Yes I'm all for Assisted Dying for the terminally ill so long as checks are in place but I'm against the authority having the ultimate decision when capacity is a affected. The family should either know and agree or deny but if there's no family....like many *I'm *afraid for the patient* - like the current judicial system, the policing and the elected government with so many failings in the NHS and councils {Calocane, Letby, grooming gangs to name a few} I don't trust them and I think there's millions who think the same. That's why 'the power' should be given to the individual or defining power [if that's the correct term] to the family not the authorities.
If you're upset with my words I apologize but know the pain you read above still hurts almost 15 years later. I don't need/want sympathy I only ask you understand or even try to put yourself in a position of a terminally ill person or their partner or family.
Not me, I've seen who James really is. Nasty.
@@Craig121000 Yes, being terminally ill hasn't altered his horrible tow-the-line ethos.
This is the first step toward making Logans Run reality.....

@@andrewlilley3660 Yup. How many people were sent home from hospital with DNR's that could have lived? How many people died because they stopped all treatments because of bat flu?

It's one way to clear the NHS backlogs
They will get the numbers down pronto. I don't trust the N.H.S.😊
The problem isn’t simply what you want it’s that it makes our doctors into enablers of death, this forever changes our relationship with them.
After the covid jabs, which I didn't take, I don't trust the medical profession
I agree with James I have had cancer and was lucky but have known a lot of people including my parents who have suffered and if had had a choice would have wanted to end it
Both my parents died through cancer, well not the cancer, adverse reactions to the treatment. We as a family cared for them both at home. Neither of them asked to go even in their pain (which was well managed) & we children had wonderful memories of their last days, reminiscing, singing, dancing. They would never have given up that time. But I would not even have my elderly (20yrs) cat put down. We cared for her til her time came, she wasn't in pain just old and her time. This bill needs a lot of work 🙏🕊️
Nice to see a topic not be overly politicised for a change. Notice how much more constructive it is giving MPs a free vote and time to consult their constituents. If only the Winter Fuel Allowance or farmer's inheritance tax was approached this way...
People deserve dignity
As if there's any dignity left in the UK
Dignity is ok until someone else chooses your dignity, personally I think is a slippery slope.
If we want to start giving elderly dignity then we need to stop putting them in care homes
@@Aguyfromthe60s❤
Killing people is dignified?
So what Dr Shipman done was ok?
This is a very dangerous bill to pass when we already have a dangerous gov. It is sad. We recently had to have two cats put to sleep but they could not tell us except by their eyes and their sense of knowing. It's heartbreaking but greater care and pain management is better. We are not in fact pets
Yes, it's also worth considering that a lot of owners can't pay the vet bill and thus have no other option but to put their pets down.
This Labour govt:
Freeze the elderly.
Imprison political opponents who post memes.
Now intervene to end the terminally ill.
Sound familiar?
It is, and it was very conveniently left out of their manifesto, along with taking away the winter fuel allowance for pensioners.
I wonder why???
Love you Alex ❤
I partly agree with this for terminally ill people. My concern is it could get abused. As you know this government wants the OAPs who are a burden on our state. The seed could be planted?
Completely agree with you, James.....good luck to you
Absolutely agree with James!
It will be abused mightily and I think people know this.
hey james look after yourself we need to see you soon, much love to you & family
It's so go to hear the taboo being spoken about. When you are diagnosed with cancer, many people would sooner cross the street, rather than discuss it with you. I do under the feelings of James and others who are terminally ill. But I do worry about where it will go in the future.
What was the inscription over the gates to the death camps? ‘Arbeit macht frei’: Freedom through work. 🤮
This is incredibly sad, being widowed I was probably in self denial when my wife was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and kept thinking just maybe she would improve and eventually we be back to normal, but on the other hand if someone is in a lot of pain and discomfort then why prolong the pain and suffering, I suppose i’m on the fence with this one
Sister and brother passed a way with motor disease… it was devastating to watch them slowly dying.. sister was begging to die
Who would trust the state to decide when you die!

Several family members objected and for fear of jail I betrayed him, I will forever feel guilty. If a person is terminal and in pain it is their right to end their suffering. What right does anyone have to deny terminally ill people to linger and suffer. There are strategies to be put in place that can control preditors etc.
The state is the preditor, where have you been?
But he is not asking for control, is he?
He is asking a doctor, who took a hippocratic oath to "first do no harm" to end his life.
How is this taking "control", when he is passing responsibility for the end of his life to somebody else?
There are a lot of doctors who FAILED the hippocratic oath since 2021.
Amazing man, amazing grace

do you think i should not have an opinion .
@@snowyowel7961everyone has their own choice in this, and it's never going to happen to someone who says "I don't want euthanasia" as that is then murder. However, if someone chooses this themselves with a sound mind, then who are we to tell them no?

@KingDomsKingdom85 This is my second attempt. I was blocked.
It says adults over 18 that is very young
They should be given the best pain relief at that age. New treatment and medication is improving all the time.
I did write more first time but probably get blocked so seems pointless.
I will say however it should not have been decided by mps it should have gone to the country to decide in my opinion.
My dad had a MAID death in 2022, obviously I live in Canada, bless you James xo
I looked after dementia suffers for years. One lady had written a living will, out lining her final wishes, should she be diagnosed with this illness. However, the dr felt because she had, as he classed it "happy dementia". That her final wishes ie withdraw of all medication was denied her.
Mr James Whale is absolutely right.
No, he isn't. He's as wrong as wrong can be!
Wait a couple of years and they will relax the legislation and your sons and daughter will be allowed to opt in because they are depressed, just like in Canada.
and it is part of a so much bigger agenda but you are certainly on the right lines. This is not an altruistic matter and it has some very sinister backers pushing it
Or having "long COVID" which will very likely be included
Sadly yes
That's why I'm conflicted and also why I'm reluctantly against this bill. I do believe that terminally ill people should be able to go out on their own terms if they want to but I simply don't trust the state to keep this limited to terminally ill people.
I'm going to try to push for allowing it for those with severe PTSD. I had a misfortune in the lottery in the decillions to one in odds. Never happened to a person before. Completely altered my reality. Life is stupid. I want out of this BS..

I agree, and has have I.
Were you in favour of it when Dr Harold Shipman was carrying it out?

Won't be long before Labour and / or the NHS removes the safeguards. In a few years I suspect any old or depressed etc. person will be eligible (encouraged) for termination
It suits our .gov Davos agenda - just fine.
@@ShyTalks-d8b That makes no sense ...

Better end of life care and meditation that works
This may well become law, but when you consider what level of bureaucracy would be involved, you'd most likely die during the process of trying to get assisted dying.
As for this myth about palliative care, don't rely on that. You may be in an area like mine where you're lucky to get much help from that direction. My GPs are hopeless as well. I've been terminal for a few years, so my experience is current.
I lost my Mum to cancer 2023. For the last four months of her life she relied on carers to do the most basic personal tasks for her and for me to hand feed her with what little she was eating by that stage. In the last month of her life she was confined to bed and had to be washed, diapers changed by carers and all other tasks carried out by me. On a couple of occasions it was night time and I had to step in to clean her up after a bowel moment. This annoyed her greatly as she never wanted to be a burden on anybody and I know the indignity she suffered when her only child had to clean her and change her like a baby. I dealt with it willingly and as gently as I could but she had been a strong woman her whole life and her final months were full of suffering. She told me on several occasions even before she was ill that if she ever got to the stage where she was helpless that she wanted to be able to just die pain free at a time that she wanted. Sadly that didn't happen but she would have been very much in favour of assisted dying as am I if the same thing happens to me. I must clarify that at all times the family GP, the district nurses, the Hospice and Marie Curie nurses, the carers and all the others giving support were angels and gave her and me enormous support throughout what was an very difficult time.
I'm sorry about your Mum. I had to make the decision last year to stop treatment that was artificially keeping my mother alive beyond what was endurable. Well done you for caring enough to tend to those most basic needs - not many do. But you know, right, that some of us have to live decades in that same way? Are you saying you wish to die before you have to live like me?
I wish James well.
James it's time to try fenbendazol, B17, and the horse paste that we can't name.
My goodness they have to read from a prepared notes. I remember when MPs were able to manage speaking without any ready prepared notes. Dennis Skinner could talk for ages without any prepared notes.
Ďo what makes you content.
Other people cannot interfere - they are not - you. ❤❤
I am in favour of assisted dying!
Why because My Mum was persuaded into signing a DNR ( do not resuscitate) by the palliative care team in hospital. Soon after my mum died I saw her in the chapel in the hospital and was really up set when I saw her distorted pain on her face, showing how much pain she was in when she died. That will stay with me for the rest of my life.
So if the patients that is diagnosed with a terminal illness, then we should respect their decision when they choose to go.
Respectfully with all respect to this gentleman..,,...doctors have been doing their jobs for years ....of which we av no knowledge .....leave it to them not governments .....please ....respectfully....
We are all terminal....it's just when.
Humans are not the same as animals.
We are.
@Baldnesz maybe you are but not me
Animals don't have to suffer why do humans have to.
@MrMarkhall1. But humans suffer just as much as animals...perhaps even more. I'm 100% with James Whale. ❤Why put up with continuous pain or gasping for breath until you suffocate, or being completely paralized except for your brain which is totally aware of what is happening. And people bringing some God into the argument saying that only he can decide when the final moment is right is cruel beyond words. If there were a God, would he punish you because you have shortened your life after so much suffering. If people believe in that kind of cruel heartless God then you can keep him. So, if one chooses to suffer to the end, so it be, but everyone should be free to decide for themselves. I hope this law goes through.
Commit yourself to Jesus Christ, he can give you salvation and a blessed life for eternity..

@@TheGarethLusk It will not be the NHS carrying out the ending of life? What will they send the old person into prison to get shanked?
Unless you suffer a serious stroke or heart attack, is death ever "quick, easy and painless."? This is what people are told in order to make them feel better about it but it is not necessarily true. Look at prisoners who are executed. It can be a process that takes hours and the person still feels a lot of pain.

They only discuss the treatment(or lack of) one would like to receive when one is in no position to inform the medics oneself and when medics are sure they cannot help you.
This is not good
my body my choice, the risk is there will be those who will go down the path of DIY, (suicide) I KNOW I WOULD and the risk is they could fail in their attempt without the help of assisted dying,, I would say try and stop me, even knowing the risk of failure, it should be there for those that face a long , hard , painful death, why should others that don't know you have a voice in your choices, I am sure they all feel very noble in protecting life but when the end of life is inevitable due to something like cancer for instance, why and how could you insist they have to suffer, you would never let it happen to an animal..your pets, so how can you square that up with humans going through that pain and suffering, maybe to protect others feeling, never mind the dying person, so we should sign our consent after having a conversation with doctors confirming the inevitable diagnoses of death and then be left to decide when things are too much......if your going to die anyway due to illness let it be on your own timeline not the bloody illness that could give you the most horrendous of deaths, I watched my mother cry and suffer through cancer, I have worked in care, I have seen the pain I have heard the pain, it is inhumane !!!
This is an impossible and difficult issue.

A relative of mine jumped in front of a train, which is much worse for the train driver, all the delayed passengers, those who had to clear up afterwards, the family members, etc..
"Why restrict it to the terminally ill?" Because there's a huge difference between a terminally ill cancer patient being told their treatment no longer works and being mentally ill and not seeking treatment.
In fact there is a stronger argument to be made that legalising euthanasia could result in LESS suicides as there will MORE likely to seek help through doctors on whether they still have the will to live during the process.
