WT, there are dozens of experimental drugs for treating MN disease. I work on the disease for a living currently and whist I support a dignified exit, I'd like to see much more resource invested in people that are fighting it. I've seen maybe a dozen people pass away due to this condition, but they all fought. Any form of marketing for assisted suicide needs strict regulation.

Tugenhadt is particularly despicable, spouting a load of lies, then says "we need more honesty in this debate", follows up with false dichotomies and then a few more lies

I've sent a few emails to my MP on the subject (particularly on the days before debates). He's voted for it so far but, according to his emails, is not guaranteed to do so today (he keeps an open mind - waiting to decide on the day, if you can believe that). We shall see . . . I just hope the majority of his inbox is in favour.

Yep, he voted for it, helping it narrowly over the line.

Interesting to see who voted which way. Obviously, most of the Tories were against and the Greens and LibDems for. Labour were pretty split (as were Reform!?) - with more support from the Labour right and nays from the left (perhaps because they don't trust the authorities not to kill off the vulnerable to save NHS cash?). Interestingly Wes Streeting is against, so will he hinder the NHS implementation of this . . . or even prevent it completely (on the NHS)?

Erm... Yes.
MND is also not the only reason someone might want control over their death.

Why tagging me in?
