..........................This experience makes me very afraid of the assisted suicide bill now laid before Parliament. Much of the debate is framed in the expectation that human beings act well in all circumstances. I hate this fact, but we don’t. Many of us act appallingly — especially when there is money in the equation.
The provision in the bill to allow proxies to act on behalf of relatives fills me with dread. How many people who start by asking to reduce their mother’s daily meals will talk themselves into requesting their mother’s early death?
How many would see the pain my father was in, due substantially to failures by medical practitioners, and decide death was better for him? How many busy medics will raise the question of suicide for a patient as an alternative to other solutions they may not have the time, money or inclination to perform?
Whilst we have a health service which is failing to administer the loving care it should, assisted suicide is a temptation we cannot put before it. Whilst we have human beings who are inclined towards the sins of selfishness and greed, this is a temptation we should not put before them.
The former could be resolved; the latter cannot be. I hope Parliament will not lead us down this path.
