Good on #britain ! I'm for assisted dying. I have a cat, and anyone who knows me this cat is my soul mate. And if he were in great amounts of suffering, I'd put him to sleep so he can die without suffering. And I think that sane, empathetic people would want that for anything and everyone. #euthanasia #news bbc.com/news/live/cg4ry0pge4kt

Important warnings by the Royal College of Psychiatrists on the UK Assisted Dying Blll, currently in the formative stages in parliament.

If you are a UK citizen, write to your MP and make them aware of the issues.

Quotes:

UMMET NEEDS: "There should be a requirement for a holistic assessment of unmet need: Treatable needs such as intolerable pain, financial hardship and inadequate care or housing can make a person want to die. Yet the Bill makes no provision to assess unmet needs at any stage, nor consult others involved in the person’s care or life."

LACK OF QUALIFIED STAFF: "There are not enough consultant psychiatrists to do what the Bill asks: As things currently stand, mental health services simply do not have the resource required to meet a new range of demands."

The UK's assisted dying bill may be well-intentioned, but the way it is being developed in the final parliamentary stages is worrying.

There are good arguments for giving a person a free choice on ending their life.

In practice, there will be people who are suffering because of lack of care and who want to escape their suffering. They should be offered proper care in life, not an exit from life.

And there will be many who will come under pressure from their family or doctors to just go. Those cases will be impossible to identify.

People with disabilities will be particularly exposed to these risks.

They may ask to die, simply because they are unsupported in life.

The drafting of the new bill ignores all these concerns.

If you are a UK citizen, write to your MP and explain your concens.

Welfare of koalas living in plantations: Aerial and ground-based shooting of koalas

"..The ongoing chronic animal welfare crisis facing koalas in southwest Victoria that has been unfolding for decades. The root cause being rampant habitat loss and the relentless expansion of the blue gum plantation industry. With their natural habitat diminished, koalas are left with nowhere safe to go...Only one animal was rescued and taken into care, while 1,061 were euthanised."

The echoes of 20th C fascism continue to echo - it is almost as though they are not merely echoes.

The first community to feel the genocidal wrath of the Nazi regime was the #disabled community. Deemed “unworthy of life” and inadequate contributors to the “master aryan race” #disabled people were targeted by the “T-4” or “#euthanasia” programme that systematically exterminated more than 250,000 disabled people.

My old bandmate, who has been in assited living for ab9ut 2 years, was pout into hospice Saturday after contracting COVID19 for the first time. His fragile health was not considered worth masking around them. This is the third close friend who has contracted COVID19 and died in a medical setting this last 8 months. i am overwhelmed with grief too much to even consider being active against the Confederated TechBro Takeover of 2025. Glad Oregon has a right to die when nothing works in medicine #FUBAR #TODAY #COVID #Masking #GermicideForSeniors #Euthanasia
