Next Monday, MPs will debate Assisted Dying thanks to huge support from the general public. It's time to build compassion into our laws and allow Assisted Dying. If you agree, demonstrate your support ahead of the debate by signing the petition:

@CarolineLucas I don't support this due to how the security question “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” (literally: who watches the watchmen ?) remains unanswered since the ancient Roman poet Juvenal asked it, and directly applies to this proposal.
Any safeguards built to prevent how "assisted dying" may be abused can be defunded by a future callous, negligent and bribe-taking administration and weakened, opening a way for murders in which the key remaining witnesses becomes the victims.
