  • @barbjungr and we respect and would defend their wishes to do so. Choice works both ways http://t.co/BMmnCpdJ
  • @barbjungr I think we agree on that - people should have the best end of life care possible,we believe that includes choice & control
  • @barbjungr we believe that legislation will better protect people than the current situation - supported by evidence from other countries
  • @barbjungr agree on access to care, but not in making dying, competent adults suffer against their wishes. Also disagree on impact of change
  • @barbjungr thanks & noted. FYI we don't promote death, but respect people's right to make informed decisions for themselves
  • @ekoalamy change will happen but some understandable concerns need to be answered in public debate first http://t.co/r8XmfX3O
  • @ekoalamy DPP’s policy effectively forgives compassionate amateur assistance to die, but at present doctor assisted dying is illegal
  • @ekoalamy @plaingoldband The DPP simply explained how he distinguishes between compassionate and malicious cases of assistance to die
  • @ekoalamy sadly it was defeated on a vote at second reading (148 votes to 100) on 12 May 2006 http://t.co/X9s2PO5y
