I have watched my dear family die - mostly in cold hospital surroundings with no privacy or dignity. Try watching your beloved father, mother, brother or sister die in this manner. You will soon see that what we are campaigning for is not unreasonable, merely compassion when no other hope is sight.

]]> Fri, 14 May 2010 11:35:44 UTC 7630958 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7621760?utm_medium=rss I support the end of life assistance bill. Having watched my mother die slowly (despite having excellent palliatve care) I have no doubts that we need to have this bill passed. I encourage you to make it as simple as possible. The need to collect signatures from members outside the family will, I believe, add much stress to an already very difficult situation.

]]> Fri, 14 May 2010 04:10:25 UTC 7621760 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7621113?utm_medium=rss For many years the polls have shown that over 80% of Scots want assisted suicide to be legal and Margo MacDonald's Bill is superb with lots of safeguards.

To many their pet is a part of the family and while it is a difficult decision to make it is always seen as a more peaceful and dignified end to life. I feel people with unbearable physical suffering (like my friend who had a spinal tumour and terminal bowel cancer) should be given the option of assisted dying if they so choose and wholly support a change in the Law.

In many of these cases, there is a complete lack of dignity, both for the individual dying, as well as for the relatives in attendance.
This bill, I believe, could put an end to many of these instances, and restore some dignity and choice, when it is most needed.

]]> Sun, 25 Apr 2010 04:27:54 UTC 7440205 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7432106?utm_medium=rss The option of allowing a mentally competent adult suffering from a terminal disease (perhaps painful, and destructive of quality of life) to legally discuss, request and organise an end to their life seems to me to be something which a mature and compassionate society should be able to sustain.

I respect the right of those who have ethical objections to choose not to use the provisions of this Bill.

My motives in signing this are compassion and a firm belief that it is the right of the individual to make their own decisions about end of life issues for themselves. I think those who oppose this for religious reasons are usually trying to impose values based on metaphysical beliefs on others. They are entitled to those beliefs, but others should be entitled to choose differently.
