Always a delight to see Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton in things, this movie is one hell of a Bechdel Test pass.
Life, Death and a very contemporary rant from John Turturro's character (which could have come from me, frankly.)
People should be allowed to do this sort of thing with dignity, on their terms....

As demand increases for voluntary assisted dying, MP urges improvements
By Meg WhitfieldVoluntary assisted dying gave former Tasmanian midwife Gaye Crick agency, at a time when her terminal illness had stripped much of that away. The state's VAD laws are being reviewed three years after they came into effect.

This the beginning of the American #Holocaust.
Letting abductees in the concentration camps die of treatable medical conditions is no different than involuntary #euthanasia of the #disabled.

CW: Animal euthanasia and grieving
Its my 15 year wedding anniversary today and we are spending it celebrating life on Scouts last day on this earth. He is scheduled for in home euthanasia tomorrow at 1. He has been unable to stand for over a week now.
He is a very good boy.
We are taking him out in his cart to walk the scout and river sniff spot and to the pool.
He got chicken nuggets for lunch and will have a cheeseburger for dinner.
Im going to miss this unique life when he is gone.

https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-mp-stays-silent-over-key-concerns-as-she-says-she-will-co-sponsor-assisted-dying-bill/. This woman is betraying herself & other #disabled #people. Perhaps she thinks that she won't be pressured into committing #suicide - but there will be nothing "voluntary" about assisted dying - it will be #compulsory #euthanasia, & it will be the chronically #sick & disabled who will be its #victims.

CW: death, killing
"Then again, perhaps Western Europe is returning to pre-modern norms about the sanctity of life and the value of disabled children. Plutarch recorded that disabled babies in Sparta were left to die of exposure. No less a thinker than Aristotle wrote approvingly of the practice. The key difference, it appears, is that the Dutch do it with needles instead."

"Assisted dying" = #compulsory #euthanasia for the #disabled. #Labour - & anyone else who votes for this wretched #Bill - are signalling that they want to get rid of us. It's a #Nazi AktionT4 Programme by another name - they're merely trying to dress it up & make it look cuddly & "respectable"!

https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/defeat-of-dangerous-assisted-suicide-bill-is-just-a-pause-in-our-fight-say-disabled-opponents/. "Disabled campaigners have warned that pressure to push through #legislation to allow #assisted #suicide is sure to continue, even though the 'dangerous' & deeply-flawed terminally ill adults (end of life) bill has run out of parliamentary time." I'm glad, @ChrisMayLA6. The Bill had far fewer safeguards for #Disabled people than equivalent #Laws in other #countries - & they aren't safe there! If we have #euthanasia here, it's supposed to be VOLUNTARY, not COMPULSORY!
-
Sigh. @linuxgnome I am open to the tgeoretucal5 posdibility that adequate safeguards may devised, tho I don't see how.
I note how your attempt at pejorative framing wholly omits any expression of concern for vulnerable people who object to the risk they face of being coerced into a premature death.
Not a squeak on it.
But if #Euthanasia is not legalised, people will still have the option to commit suicide, as they always have had. Victims of coercion have no alternative.

#TheGuardian prints lies about #AassistedDying, by the bill's proposer #KimLeadbeater MP: https://archive.is/gcJgH
⅔ of seats in #HouseOfCommons are held by the so-called #LabourParty that got ⅓ of votes. The holders of those seats were chosen by a corrupt clique around paedo-pal #Mandelson. That's not democracy; it's anti-democracy.
Every #disability group opposed Leadbeater's half-arsed bill, because it didn't safeguard disabled people. Only the Lords protected them.

Having now worked in #health/ #social care for 20 years I'm conflicted about this - the delay is also going to be held up as a victory for more theocratic minded folk, but I'd support human #euthanasia more if we had a less fractured society and fewer financial pressures on #healthcare
I'm already hearing of claims in NL, BE and CA (including from people I trust) there is pressure being put on patients to end their lives rather than have more complex/expensive forms of treatment, and really would *not* put it past some British families "having Grandad put to sleep to save on care home costs (and to keep hold of property that seniors might own outright, but is often sold to pay for care costs!)
Maybe #neoliberalism / #capitalism needs to die first?

A Spanish woman dies by euthanasia after a long legal battle with her father.
Noelia Castillo, who had conducted a long legal battle with her father for the right to end her life, died on Thursday.
The Catalan government granted her the right to assisted dying but the process was suspended after legal objections raised by her father.
The European Court of Human Rights ruled in her favour earlier this week.
