Mr Seymour has altered his End of Life Choice Bill, narrowing it down to include only those who have a terminal illness.
Leaving aside that everyone has such an illness - called life - I must withdraw my support of the bill.
I believe every person over the age of consent should have the right to request assistance in ending their life.
I also believe that every other person, doctor or not, should have the right to provide or refuse that request.
This bill will not provide such.
The bill will be used as a weapon to prevent people gaining help and many will suffer and die in great pain and discomfort while scum argue over whether they are terminal or not.
For mine I hope some kind person puts me down rather than leave me forgotten, dribbling, drooling and pissing myself in a dark, unvisited corner of some godawful state resthome.
