'The test of a civilised nation is not whether it chooses between care and choice. It is whether it has the courage to provide both. That is why I support assisted dying' - @michaelpaynemp.bsky.social www.politicshome.com/opinion/arti...

Improve palliative care or introduce assisted dying? It's a false choice – let's do both

Few issues in politics demand more humility than assisted dying.

Victoria Denning is a former headteacher, mother of two, and humanist celebrant living in Monmouth. For the last twenty years, she has delivered hundreds of humanist weddings, baby namings, and funerals. She received a shock terminal diagnosis this year, and for the first time, is speaking out.

A picture of a woman with red hair smiling above text saying:
‘I, like many other terminally ill people, would like to decide myself when I am ready, when I am in such pain and when I have tied up all the loose ends and said my goodbyes, that now is the time.

’I am shocked that the Assisted Dying Bill was blocked by a few who think they know best. That's inhumane and cruel. Although I have supported this Bill from the start, until you are actually told you have a limited time left, you have no idea how important it is to have control over how you live your life and how you end it.’

To ‘ultra-crepidate’ (19th century) is to lecture others on subjects you know very little about.

Analysis shows MPs split largely along religious lines, with a few notable exceptions on either side. Only 2 MPs – 1 Christian, 1 humanist – spoke about their beliefs during the vote. @andrewcopson.bsky.social on the ‘strong but silent’ role of religion in the vote. humanists.uk/2024/12/10/t...

Don't get fooled. Operation Christmas Child is a scheme to evangelise vulnerable children. We're urging parents and schools to swap their support over to ethical schemes which don't exploit the generosity of parents. humanists.uk/2023/11/16/h...
