    Replying to @OtherHalfOrg and @Tanni_GT
    The utilitarian advantages of speed (8.5 mins to cardiac arrest), efficient planning (can line ops up), and an opt out system like ours are readily apparent. But the ethical issues need careful thought not a shoddy PMB and ministers with all the power.

    Reminder: the powers which the Bill so liberally bestows on ministers - including to change every aspect of the NHS - are largely unfettered. They can be used again and again, till ending people’s lives permeates every aspect of the NHS and society. @Docstockk is clear sighted

    "Organ donation after euthanasia starting with anesthesia at home is legal in The Netherlands, Belgium, Canada and Spain" Read that headline! They're anaesthetizing you at home. Then they take your warm, living body to an operating room to remove your organs. You die of waking
