I’m absolutely torn on this one.

My Dad is an almost retired GP who had to watch his mother die of Alzheimer’s. As a result, he’s very much in favour of assisted dying, being of the opinion that it’s a travesty we can treat our pets more humanely than our relatives. He’s someone who judgment I tend to have total respect for.

I just have a nagging doubt about the creep of fascism and the downright nastiness that exists in our society these days - and have concerns about what might happen if we open the door to this. I’m a “health professional” myself and can on occasion be absolutely blown away by how often I can be genuinely appalled by the morals and ethics of supposedly caring professionals. When I hear some of the people from the other side of the debate saying their piece I can absolutely relate to their concerns.

I’d be abstaining and remain to be convinced 100% by either side.
