@theosthinktank.bsky.socialMPs are currently debating proposals to legalise assisted dying ahead of a vote this afternoon.
But what role should religion play in this debate? How can we navigate different definitions of human dignity?

@natcen.bsky.socialSupport for assisted dying 'for a person with an incurable and painful illness who will not die', has increased since the mid-1990s, reaching 62% in 2025.

@fllics.comLIVE: UK lawmakers debate assisted dying
British lawmakers debate whether to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill people, hoping the groundswell of public support will help drive through the law change months after a previous effort collapsed. #uk #assisteddying #health #terminalillness…
@christinarobertss.bsky.socialIt was very hard to explain what #AssistedDying is without a clear alternative. It was very hard to think of why you would not want something. If good #PalliativeCare is not offered, hastened death looks like the only option. Not a choice.
@afortiorama.bsky.socialas grand daughter of two wonderful people who weren't allowed to die and were left in pain or in vegetative state for months and years respectively I say that anyone who opposes this bill to go through is a sadist. #AssistedDying #UKgovernment #UKparliament

@nuffieldtrust.org.ukThe #AssistedDying Bill is back in parliament for another vote today.
Last year our researchers took a detailed look at how other countries have gone about setting up assisted dying services, and what some of the common issues have been. 👇️
@christinarobertss.bsky.socialPeople with #LearningDisabilities have been invisible from the #AssistedDying debate. We spoke to them. On how to decide: “He needs help with decisions…He would probably speak to his mum and father and say ‘Oh, do you think I should die now or shall I die later?”
@thelastgirlyswots.bsky.social.
Let's hope MPs do the right thing and vote for the Assisted Dying Bill today - otherwise they are forcing some terminally ill people to die in horrific circumstances which even the best palliative care can't alleviate.

@e-jc.bsky.socialProfessor Appleby, national independent advisor on suicide
“Opposition to #AssistedDying Bill has highlighted palliative care & coercion
The risk of undermining suicide prevention more broadly. The profound change to medical ethics.
I don’t believe individual choice outweighs social responsibility”
@thelastgirlyswots.bsky.social.
Dear Tess, we are so sorry for your loss.
This is exactly the kind of case which makes us support the right for terminally ill adults to choose assisted dying if they wish to.
We hope MPs will take note and pass the Bill - as the great majority of Brits want.
@afortiorama.bsky.socialAnother repulsive thing that happen a handful of religious hypocrites deciding against the majority of the country that people cannot decide when and how to go. #Ukgovernment #UKparliament #AssistedDying let's hope they do the right thing this time.
@wearehourglass.bsky.socialAhead of tomorrow’s vote on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, Hourglass remains neutral on assisted dying and committed to older people’s autonomy, dignity and safety. Swipe to read more➡️
