My article shows #assistedsuicide is a recent concept and #euthanasia is about compassion and social utility: Suicide versus Euthanasia in the American Press in the 1890s and 1900s: “A Man Should be Permitted to Go Out of This World Whenever He Sees Fit”

The @Daily_Express is so right. Why trust hospice doctors - each of whom have seen 1000s of deaths and of whom 82% oppose legalising #assistedsuicide - over the collective wisdom of, er, Dame Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan?

Actor Pierce Brosnan shared his thoughts on assisted dying while promoting his new film alongside his costar Helen Mirren.

Here is a grotesque example of the dishonesty used to pass the #Leadbeaterbill by pro-suicide organization, @dignityindying. "We campaign for assisted dying for terminally ill adults NOT assisted suicide. Dignity in Dying only advocates a change in the law on assisted dying.".

This is an excellent corrective to the dishonest, Orwellian discussion that favours the term "assisted dying" over the description of what it really is - #assistedsuicide. Please read it, no matter what your perspective on the issue.

Oh, right. What's that about choice and autonomy, again? But that could never happen with the passage of the #leadbeaterbill, could it? #assistedsuicide #missioncreep.

It is disturbing that parliament is considering the legalisation of assisted death while simultaneously putting more financial pressure on the services that really help people to die with dignity.

You cannot "preview" or even imagine your own death and, in my experience, nothing prepares you for the death of a loved one. For shame, Canada. #assistedsuicide #euthanasia.
Euthanasia is so popular in Canada that people are doing death rehearsals. Look at this announcement of "pretours" at a death venue in Victoria where people can "explore the space" in which they or their loved one will be killed. No matter how common, this will never be okay.
