Like I've said i don't want someone taking me to the toilet and feeding me, would you like that?
My wife works in a brain injury centre and some of the cases it's just cruel to keep them alive.

Would it not be cheaper than caring for someone for a few years?
You have the right to choose to believe you shouldn't have that choice, but why would you wish to deny others that same choice who believe otherwise?
That's just being selfish!
Suicide is normally covered, excluding during the first year of a policy.
Not especially. However, lucid, pain free people need care for all kinds of reasons. It can be something as simple as two bandaged hands. If it's a toss up between your kids looking after you and losing their well paid jobs or dipping into your savings for care - what do you do?
The assisted dying bill only allows for terminally I’ll with less than 6 months.
Not that predicting somebody’s death is an exact science
For the continuing care of the elderly no.
Here’s a thought:
There will be cases, possibly pretty rare, where people are pressured into choosing assisted dying by relatives…..should those cases take precedence over those people for whom assisted dying gives them a chance to choose a dignified death?

I am genuinely not understanding the point you are making.
In regards to continuing care, NHS primary care trusts will do everything they possibly can to avoid any continuing care assessment reaching the criteria.
The NHS can’t cope with the costs of keeping the elderly living for every last second, nor can local social care either

They would not be covered under the proposals, it wouldn't be a choice for them.
I do know that
Me or any normal person is gonna end life over a bandaged hand

Not at all, I am talking purely from my own prospective, it isn't selfish. Are you going to vote for Reform and not be selfish for defying others. the right to Reform getting in?
