\u201cIt\u2019s very important that we discuss it here in the Senedd today because although the private member\u2019s bill is going forwards in Westminster, if it were passed the implication would be very important in Wales because we have responsibility for health and social care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Morgan said it is important to have safeguards to ensure people meet\u00a0specific criteria, with medical people present when the decision is made….<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carys Moseley, a public policy researcher and analyst for Christian Concern based in Cardiff, said the group was \u201cconcerned\u201d about the motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said: \u201cWe\u2019ve got a visual display of the actual cases that have been happening in different jurisdictions in the western world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese are tragic cases \u2013 diabetes being treated as a long-term illness in Oregon, assisted suicide the fifth leading cause of death in Canada \u2013 these are very grave issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said the public question the issue more when they hear about other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOnce you introduce this choice \u2013 dying \u2013 there is a pressure then which eventually becomes a duty to die,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere isn\u2019t such a thing as (going on) \u2018your own terms\u2019, because it affects all the doctors that become responsible for killing patients or assisted killing rather than preserving life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Read it all<\/a>.<\/p> The Welsh Senedd, which has a progressive majority, has overwhelmingly voted down a motion to legalise assisted suicide. The more people learn about assisted suicide the less they like it. pic.twitter.com\/fww05M1fLi<\/a><\/p>— Yuan Yi Zhu (@yuanyi_z) October 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
