Tech tycoon Larry Ellison "wants to put all US citizens' data - including their DNA - in one big Oracle system for AI to study"

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL - PUBLIC CONCERNS:

"When you have disabled groups against this Bill you know there is a problem"

"More holes in this Bill than a Swiss cheese - No to this Bill"

"After Covid debacle... I wouldn't trust them with a budgie!"

"Assisted Dying Bill if passed would legitimise the ongoing abuse of NHS 'End of Life' protocols and practices in hospitals"

- Amanda Hunter

Clip from autumn last year - since when this Bill has become even more worrying

No crime, still on record, no idea why – “Non-Crime Hate Incidents” exposed

You can’t have a free society when police can turn up on your doorstep, and conduct damaging investigations that go on your “record” without evidence

DIGITAL ID: "Many whispers around identity cards by the backdoor – digital sheen to avoid physical ID cards to which Blair received such a backlash"

"Indication of a hidden agenda to justify introduction of digital ID by stealth"

Myth: "Only fully trained doctors will be able to suggest assisted suicide to patients and process requests"

Reality: There is no explicit requirement for the “medical practitioner” processing the request to be a fully trained doctor

"Uber starts allowing customers to pay in cash"

"Following trials, the cash payment option was this week extended to all UK cities, except London, where it is being reviewed"

Good to see businesses offering the cash option

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL:

Myth: Only those with six months or less to live will be eligible for assisted suicide

Reality: Those expected to die in six months may qualify, but such predictions are often wrong. 63% of end-of-life prognoses are wrong according to one study, and 20% of those given a six month terminal prognosis by NHS doctors are still alive three years later (source: DWP)

We understand there will be a rally event by those concerned about the Bill, on Friday - the day of expected vote

Outside Parliament, THIS Friday 16 May, 9am - 12 noon

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL:

Myth: Assisted suicide will be limited to those suffering and/or in pain

Reality: Neither pain nor suffering feature in the eligibility criteria for assisted suicide, under this Bill

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL: "We have an utterly rigged dysfunctional, very inefficient (healthcare) system" (Dr Bob Gill)

What happens with cash-strapped hospitals eager to clear beds, and medics under pressure to ration treatment?

It is not difficult to envisage the terminally ill, especially those with little familial support, being actively ‘encouraged’ to make the decision to end their lives prematurely

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL: "Pain isn't even in the top 5 reasons why people opt for (Assisted Suicide)" (Kevin Yuill)

Fear of becoming a burden on family or caregivers is the most cited reason

In Canada, 65% of those who took up MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying), cited burden as the key motivator

Once normalised, choice can become pressure and even "duty to die"

We needed proper debate on all these issues & we haven't had it

POLICING: Police home invasions over "thought crimes" are coming from police and crime commissioners who "haven't got any balls"

ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL:

Myth: "Doctors can be trusted to facilitate assisted suicide ethically and judiciously."

Reality: Not all doctors can be relied on for virtue and sound judgement. Harold Shipman showed one unscrupulous doctor can end hundreds of lives.
