A debate and a vote is not only long overdue but inevitable
Michael Coren: ‘Like it or not, these are times when people have the need, and should have the right, to make their own decision to die’
I was allowed to meet with these people because I’m an Anglican priest. They were allowed to make the decision because they live in Canada, where Medical Assistance in Dying was introduced in 2016., a campaigner for assisted dying, that if the Labour Party wins the next election he would allow a vote on the issue, adding that he is, “personally in favour of changing the law”. He continued: “I think we need to make time. We will make the commitment.
This is one of the most troubling aspects of the entire discussion. Is assisted dying to be allowed, as I think it should be, in those rare cases where a patient is terminally ill, is in suffering and pain can’t be properly controlled , and wants to leave in dignity and peace, or will it be exploited to save money because of the expense of end of life care, especially with an ageing population? If it’s the latter, it’s a terrifying proposition.
