I hope the safeguards around any proposals are as strong as can be.

Fiveleaves.  'Nobody is a Biden to society'.

 

Unfortunately that isn't true.   People are not always kind.

Burden not Biden.  Predictive text has gone political!

I liked:  'Nobody is a Biden to society'.

It is quite easy to think of a scenario where Gt-Grandad is left on his own and is going to require expensive care, the funding of which will entail selling the vast majority of his assets, where the children/grandchildren might express their worries about their financial situations.  Maybe even not say things out loud - but Gt-Grandad knows that he could ease their problems and that they want him to do so.

A dreadful day unless safeguards are drawn extremely tightly - and this Bill doesn't do that i.m.o..

I really can't understand some of the comments here - people will condemn the dying to months of virtual torture just to ease their own conscience. Beggars belief. I think they may change their minds if/when they end up begging for an early release.

If you think your children will talk you into earlier suicide so that they can have your money then a) you have brought them up badley and b) change your will.
