Once what was anathema is permitted with safeguards, equality law can be applied to the safeguards.

Think about that.

Awful law. Will be widened by activists through legal actions.

How's it an extra burden surely it frees up staff an resources, rather than have a bed blocked while some one dies a slow horrible death, that they don't want.

Considering what has happened in Canada, a lot can go wrong.

Dangerous ground we are standing on with this, if it's your choice fair enough but to integrate it into the NHS is a step too far in my opinion and goes against what it stands for.

My body, my life, my choice. And I should be allowed the assistance from those who wish to give it. To all the people who are against this I sincerely hope your passage out of this world is pain free and how you imagine from the movies – but just like many women who say they don’t want an epidural or pain relief end up changing their mind, I fear many of you will too in the end

No doctors should be able to bring it up. It should only be the patient that has to bring it up.

The NHS have been murdering us since they began.

Wow. I am stunned. A separate service within the NHS. I bet it's well funded. I wonder how long assisted dying becomes the catch all for m managing the population. Every where this had been made law, it slowly evolves from the terminaly I'll to mental health. I'm sure one day it will be available for the eldely or the poor because God forgive they become a drain on society. I thought the Nazis were evil

No extra burdens on the NHS.
