Any predictions when euthanasia will be legal in the UK?

So what do you reckon? Why?

Hi sweet @jodes2

I think, but like everybody, without knowing a thing about this debate in this country, that there is a long way to go before things are seriously considered by governments.

We are in an era where dialogue is only emotional and subjective.

A decision-maker thinks about his morals, his situation or necessarily he does not have suicidal ideas and therefore, because for everyone "death is sad", it is a debate that is difficult to envisage.

You only have to read what is said about Switzerland, when certain media denounce Switzerland as being responsible for slippages or abuses with suicide, because people in their twenties who are not condemned to death by an illness have been allowed to commit suicide legally.

Who defines what is a slip? The journalist who has his own opinion, his own morals and his own fear of death ? (because I think that the refusal to debate actually reflects an existential fear of death which has become far too present because of our sense of immortality, because there are not as many wars, thanks to medicine, because we don't talk about that anymore)

In short, who is slipping, the journalist? The patient?

But if a patient wants to, then it's not a slip, is it?

In short, we know the songs and the emotional arguments reflecting the fear that people have of death

The day the discussion is rational, focused on the subject and on human rights, perhaps things will move forward then. For the moment, it doesn't even seem worthwhile

I wish you a good evening

Love ❤

It baffles me that politicians don't fear old age. It terrifies me.

Hope you're having an ok evening too sweet Nirrend

I cannot imagine it ever being legal here. The UK is a very pro life country after all, where suicide is so stigmatised, they won't even allow it for those experiencing the most severe suffering and terminal illness unlike some other countries. I hate this so much. The people who want to deny others the option of a peaceful exit are disturbing and insane. There is no benefit to endless pain and trying to force people to endure a life that they never asked for. I wouldn't be surprised if the UK made suicide illegal.

I really hope it changes. Surely it can't last forever. I hope they also decriminalise drugs but that could be a while too. We're so fucking backwards it's disgusting

My guess is that they'll only allow euthanasia as a last resort to combat various resource shortages due to humanity as a whole being too dumb to regulate its population and let it overgrow way past the point of there being no hope to save the planet.

There's no political party in the UK that advocates for legalized assisted suicide as far as I'm aware.

Every now and then you'll hear on the news about a husband who helped their ill wife to die for example and then the debate about assisted suicide is is reignited again for a short time but then gets forgotten about again quickly.

Dam. I didn't know that. That fucking sucks. Shit. Thanks for the informative answer

I think it will at least be implemented for terminally ill people within 15 years. People everywhere will be changing their tune if the world starts buckling under 15 million people or whatever.

What sequence of events do you envisage for that to be the case? I can't imagine it changing policy here, our politicians are stubborn as fuck

I don't think that's too controversial and a few western countries have already enacted it. It's just a guess, and I don't intend on lasting to find out.

This is where I get confused - "Shots: Eugenics to Pandemics"; "corbettreport - who is bill gates"

Who is largest farmland owner in usa - Bill Gates (https://landreport.com)​

Now researching "Black Rock".​

Seriously, what is "mental illness"? Too much knowledge?
...with bullshite exposed, why would I want to go on. This world is not moving is any direction I wish to move.

Definitely within 5 years, the UK is very open to suicide and there is solid backing from both parties to legalise it. Its just the how and who now they need to work through.

I doubt it will ever be available for depression sufferers though.

Thank you all

I think it will be within ten to fifteen years, but under very strict conditions and only for a terminal illness or something like that.
