Thousands of people in UK becoming terminally ill.

[Rational man]

Because of underresources, cutbacks and pandemic delays in UK. Many thousands of cancer patients who potentially could have been treated earlier now face death by terminal cancer. Ive no doubt many of these deaths will be painful, without dignity and dreadful. They also have little say in ending their lives through dignified assistance.

When the authorities speak of the sanctity of life, the authorities which includes the representatives of ' God ' should really take a step out of their utopian ivory towers and take a look around. Outside of their ethically built-in walls, they will see the reality we all face. And that sanctity of life is false because if it were true, every focus would be drawn to the suffering. This TRUTH is conveniently shoved under the carpet.

Ive never met a dying person who died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. Has anyone ????. These things are said to make the living feel more comfortable with the falsehood, and that our approach to death is outdated and totally flawed.

Yes, there is no sanctity of life. Its so idealistic, so false.

It really is so horrifying how people have to die a slow, painful death from disease, they should be able to peacefully end their suffering. Just the fact that so many diseases exist is enough to make me want to leave this world. Rest in peace all those gone.

Ditto to that. My mother's death haunts me. I wondered if i had PTS afterwards. I promised myself that I would do everything possible to avoid the stinking mess that surrounded her at the end. Peace❤

The UK is one of the worst western countries to be in if you require some sort of hospice care, imo. The NICE guidelines that the NHS implements do not live up to their name, it is atrocious what many old, enfeeble, and terminally ill people endure in care homes and hospitals.

I really don't understand it. Do no harm. Yet, even when people receive terminal diagnoses and beg for relief, doctors deny them basic dignity and respect. The news articles I've read about elderly people starving to death as they die, or cancer patients being forced to decimate their savings to journey to Switzerland or other counties where assisted dying is legal, do nothing but make my stomach churn.

Why is this allowed to happen? There are so many people suffering whose quality of life could be drastically improved if their illness was caught in a timely manner, but the NHS offers bottom of the barrel care. You have to constsntly chase them up to get anything done, and most of the time they will go for the bare minimum protocol rather than a comprehensive approach like referring you for testing.

i agree with you and thats why assisted dying should be legalised for people wishing to die.

People used to die surrounded by family as they spent their final days living together, now you get shipped off to a prison for older folks; out of sight out of mind or in a hospital that only cares about ticking boxes.

When ppl are raised to be hyper competitive & believe all that matters is striving for money & appearances they tend to give zero fucks about anybody else; little surprise there's no one around down the line.
