The Archbishop of York and assisted dying.

The Archbishop of York and assisted dying.

By Philip Satherley | Monday 14.5.2012
The Archbishop of York has been talking about the medicalisation of dying and that, as a society, we seem to have lost the ability to prepare for the end in the Telegraph. On this I agree. More does need to be done around ensuring we are as involved as possible in our deaths, this could include making an Advance Decision and making sure you’ve discussed them with your healthcare team and family.

  • @barbjungr and we respect and would defend their wishes to do so. Choice works both ways http://t.co/BMmnCpdJ
  • @barbjungr I think we agree on that - people should have the best end of life care possible,we believe that includes choice & control
  • @barbjungr we believe that legislation will better protect people than the current situation - supported by evidence from other countries
  • @barbjungr agree on access to care, but not in making dying, competent adults suffer against their wishes. Also disagree on impact of change
  • @barbjungr thanks & noted. FYI we don't promote death, but respect people's right to make informed decisions for themselves
  • @ekoalamy change will happen but some understandable concerns need to be answered in public debate first http://t.co/r8XmfX3O
