Notably Potent Pugilist Keir Starmer Demands That His MPs Ram Through an Elder Euthanasia Bill Without Taking the Time to Debate, or Even Read, It

The terrifying thoughtlessness of Britain's assisted-dying debate

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed its second reading in the House of Commons on Friday by 330 votes to 275. The news was greeted enthusiastically by assisted-dying campaigners in Parliament Square, while a demonstration against the bill, held by disability-rights group Not Dead Yet in Old Palace Yard, grew sombre and even tearful.
As regrettable as it may be, I wasn't surprised the bill passed. Although it was ostensibly a free vote and there should have been no whipping of any MPs, there have been rumours of 'soft whipping'. In other words, No10 made it known what was expected of MPs, even while publicly insisting they could vote with their consciences. UK prime minister Keir Starmer certainly made no secret of his support for assisted dying. It is not difficult to imagine this had some influence over the 200 or so new Labour MPs who owe their political careers to him.
The pro-assisted-dying camp also gave MPs very little time to examine and familiarise themselves with the bill. The 38 pages of text appeared just 17 days before the vote. Those who managed to read it all found glaring inconsistencies and problems. Then, just four-and-a-half hours were allotted to debate it in the Commons (the 2004 ban on fox hunting, in contrast, was only passed after a government inquiry and 400 hours of debate). Yet Labour's many new, inexperienced MPs were assured there would be time to iron out the difficulties. They were encouraged to vote on the principle, rather than on the bill itself.
On this, they were misled. This second-reading vote was to agree to the wording of this particular bill, not to affirm the principle of assisted dying more broadly. The process of getting a private members' bill through parliament is such that it will be very hard to roll back or amend at a later stage.
...
Even if the bill's success was not just a product of political strategising, it certainly didn't pass because of the rhetorical brilliance of its exponents. Liberal Democrat MP Christine Jardine, who sponsored the bill, clearly had no idea of even the basics. She was incapable of giving a straight answer when asked on BBC Newsnight how the coercion of patients would be spotted and prevented. Leadbeater herself has only ever displayed a vague understanding about what her bill would involve.
This low-information debate was truly at its worst during the discussion in the Commons last week. Leadbeater was long on empathy and short on knowledge, repeating stock phrases like 'we are not talking about a choice between life or death; we are talking about giving dying people a choice of how to die'.

In Canada, people are being assisted by the state in killing themselves over financial fears and loneliness -- exactly the sort of thing the proponents of state-promoted suicide said would never happen, and would be stopped if it began to happen.

The failed rogue state of the UK is now going down the same path of Eliminating the Undesirables.

The Nazis wanted to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are rightly denounced as monstrous eugenicists.

The leftwing wants to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are hailed as forward-thinking humanitarians.

So it really just comes down to your fashion sense -- pink and mauve, or black leather? That's the difference.

The NAZIs got their original ideas around getting rid of "useless eaters" from western progressives. Remember Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., leftist icon to this day, opined "Three generations of imbeciles are enough." and allowed the government to forcibly sterilize people.

The book ends with a whimper, a forced happy ending that doesn't make much sense. Also, the world she creates isn't quite as tightly built as I think it should be.

However, there's one detail she writes that I really wish was in the movie: the younger women who adopt dolls and treat them as their babies contrasted with the crazy counterreactions they can get.

50 Time for a serious post, the Nazis and the leftoids are the SAME people and have been the entire length and breadth of the history of the eugenics movement. The culling of the herd from the weak and dissolute has been a cornerstone of progressive rhetoric from the start provably, the Nazis' "sin" was taking it to its logical conclusion "too quickly" and aiming it at the Jews as well as the favored targets because of their racial hang-ups. Had the Second World War been concluded with proper justice the gallows would have had the Anglo-American-Gallic eugenicists up on the dock along with the Marxist Gulag enthusiasts, but we do not live in a just world so they were allowed to burrow into academia and the civil service here domestically and we did not prosecute the Nazis for their eugenics addiction.

There is little room for negotiation with people who want you dead and the left wants all the non-left dead their arguments are simply about what order to kill them in.

Each of the cult members dreams of being one of the exalted who determines who lives and who dies. Many actively work to create and be a member of that exalted cadre. While being themselves exempt from any life and death judgement, of course.

The crisis left the crown with little options other than to try to screw the repayment out of the subjects, which caused friction.

Parliament today is in a similar position, having taken loans to support Ukraine and other pet projects by compelling the Bank of England to underwrite loans which have defaulted, which the only repayment apparent is to screw it out of the subjects, which appears to be causing friction.

There is nothing Starmer will not do to avoid default.

Even though I despise that candidate, who probably has actual fascist sympathies, I think the supreme court's decision is absurd.
The other candidate, who is pro-Western, but voted for banning homosexual marriage when we had a referendum on this topic a few years ago, had overwhelming chances to win.
The supreme court decision makes no sense and makes a mockery of democracy.

257 The nations of (once) Great Britain and Canada don't need euthanasia, they're already dead.

What I don't get is that every time a capital punishment sentence is carried out there is all sorts of angst and protest about how inhumane the "process" is - the chemicals or drugs are pain inducing, the executionee will struggle, it's cruel to make them suffer, etc...

But euthanasia? No worries, just like going to sleep, happy times all around.

And stop supporting them until some outsider comes and shakes things up so badly that your establishment tries to destroy them.

But they won't do this because any outsider becomes an enemy in an instant because of the necessity for ideological purity. An outsider who came in and demanded socialized medicine and gun confiscation would be still outcast because they didn't support trannies enough from these people.

323 A local physician inn my town used to bang on about how the elderly utilized disproportionately large amounts of health resources, and that the majority of Medicare dollars were spent in the last two years of the recipient's life.

What if Medicare were replaced by Medicaid for poor seniors and Medicaid had limits on what it would cover. Yeah, that sucks but covering everything for nothing will never work. Other seniors, ones who planned for their elderly years, can purchase private health insurance that convers what they, individually, consider to be important and reasonable.

Crazy idea.

Except...the last 16 years where they've had control of the executive for 12 and the legislature for a bit of it got them...an insurance industry payoff.

No new rights. No new payoffs. Just the obligation to pay the insurance industry money for a product.

The days of Democrats actually delivering policy wins is long in the past. The "Why didn't you codify Roe" is key there. They had a supermajority in 2009. What did they do with it? The ACA, and that's it. No gun confiscation. No amnesty. Just a payoff to corporations.

It's taking a while, but it seems like the left is waking up to the reality that the Democrat Party is not actually a vehicle for advancing policy anymore.

You can apparently move from stage to stage in life and never leave their grasp, and you pay everything you have and never get full service for it, for some mysterious reason, and get rejected for coverage on the way and have to pay out of your pocket for it, and no one knows why.

They created it out of whole cloth, never fully explained it, didn't explain it was a lie.

The point of the book was a social and political revolution where the young slaughtered the old, then created a cultural obligation and value to kill yourself at 21 so there would never arise a "tyranny of the old" again.

Carousel totally upends this idea of a virtue made of suicide.

401 Notice how Government-run Healthcare states are son hot and bothered for euthanasia? I'm sure the fact that they're targeting the most expensive to care for people has nothing to do with it....

Why do men die first?

Because they can.

403 Just culling the costs to our state run health plan. When you ask the state to take care of you, their desire to take care of you may be a bit different than yours.

404 There is an amusing little SF story where an alien with a religious belief in reincarnation shooting people who were feeling sad to make them feel better in the next life.

Starmer is feeling pretty bad about his latest polls and by-elections showing a collapse in his party...he could be one of the first customers.

405 UK protectorate, and pretend country, Canada, under the leadership of their communist Prime Minister Trudeau, just further reduced his citizens right to protect themselves. He will confiscate additional firearms under the guise they are “dangerous”, and no joke, wants to send them to Ukraine.

Small arms are one of the few things Ukraine is not short of.

It really doesn't, there were several cases where other countries volunteered to take a terminal case for free, and the butchers of socialized medicine blocked the child being removed or leaving the country and watched them die, presumably with popcorn and cold beer for the death cultists.

408 Here's a quote from a Doctor in Canada who administers their MAID program (Euthanasia).

'It's the most rewarding work we've ever done': Canadian doctor who's euthanized 400 people proudly shares how she helped kill man deemed incapable of choosing assisted suicide - as another physician says she's helped 300 die.

411 "The Nazis wanted to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are rightly denounced as monstrous eugenicists.

The leftwing wants to kill the weak and economically unproductive, and they are hailed as forward-thinking humanitarians.

So it really just comes down to your fashion sense -- pink and mauve, or black leather? That's the difference."

No, the "difference" is that the Nazis killed them when they were unwilling. The leftwing is getting them to volunteer, and even demand, to be killed.

That is in addition to getting them to volunteer and demand to be sterilized (aka, "transition") and pseudo-sterilize (aka, "abortion".)

It is all about the "volunteer" and "demand" parts that makes the leftwing think they are different and actually superior.

412 Similarly, a robotic designer has to figure out the proper mixture of piston movements involved in walking
and program this information into the robot's laptop.

Many cellular robots have a built-in stability system (a collection of gyroscopes,
for instance) that tells the pc when it needs to
appropriate its movements. Mobile robots stand in for folks
in many ways. Usually, in order to maneuver their segments in two directions,
robots use pistons that can push each ways. Roomba vacuums use infrared mild to detect objects of
their path and photoelectric cells measure adjustments in gentle.
In this fashion, the robot changes path any time it encounters
an impediment. The remote control may talk with the
robot by an connected wire, or utilizing radio or
infrared signals. Some cellular robots are managed by
remote - a human tells them what to do and when to do it.
Cell robots also work in homes and companies.
