We want to invite you to take a look at our site so that you will be better informed about the subject of euthanasia, also known as assisted suicide. Some of what you are about to read may seem unbelievable, far-fetched, or even lies. Let us reassure you that you can verify everything on this site by taking the time to read, consider and ask us or others to explain or justify the information laid out here for you. We want to protect you and those you love, literally from a fate worse than death. The events recalled here have been documented, studied, and laid down in our history.
Dehydration Lifeline
People who think this way of dying is good prefer to call such a death assisted dying. (LINK names used) This is designed to make it seem palatable; a good choice, your choice, one that you shouldn’t be deprived of. Most of us are afraid of death, of course, we are afraid, dying is the great unknown,
‘Undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveller returns.’
If you are reading this and are worried about a loved one, a friend or someone whose care you feel concerned about first will you please take a look at DHYDRATION LIFELINE.
This information has been compiled by a group of eminently qualified medics with many years of experience. You can trust their advice and opinions and their courage in speaking out. Their aim is to stop people dying unnecessarily and in great pain brought on by lack fluids or food. They also tell us very clearly, ‘There is no evidence that a “dying process” exists or that it can be diagnosed.’
To offer what looks like a quick fix is very alluring. To paint a scary picture is to play on our worst fears. We implore you not to fall for what is emotional blackmail.
DON’T VOTE FOR WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW
We want to tell you the ‘whole story’ about euthanasia so that you can be much better informed. On this site you can read facts and figures and real life attitudes and events that people who are campaigning for euthanasia to be made legal will not tell you.
People who work for and support DIGNITY IN DYING and other organisations that push the idea would rather that you remain ignorant to the problems faced in: every district, every town and every country where it is now legal in. These deaths can only be one thing and that is suicide, not assisted dying. They will insist that the people who die are in the very last stages of their life – we will tell you why in many cases this is just not true.
The idea of assisted suicide is being hyped as ‘a human right’ that you have a
right to die at the time of your choosing. We believe that you also have the right to know the truth about what is happening now, where assisted suicide is legal.
The Right Stuff: Is there a Right to Die?
A Philosophical View By Tanya Davison
TANYA DAVISON presents a clear and persuasive argument regarding the ‘rights’ and misconceptions surrounding euthanasia. She articulates a secular and engaging perspective.
Medical advancement empowers us to preserve and prolong our lives well beyond what was once possible. With these miracles of science, however, the Western world has become fearful that our once-flourishing lives are fated to drag on, and end in debility, dependence, and disgrace.
This fear has given rise to the popularity of assisted suicide, and a phrase now all so familiar: ‘a right to die’, but does such a right really exist?
It is generally thought that humans have a right to self-determination, liberty, and to life itself. One would be forgiven, therefore, for making the following assumption: ‘If I have a right to self-determination, I have a right to determine my own death.’ Or ‘If I have a right to life, I should be free to give that life up.’ However, this line of thinking is fraught with problems.
The ‘right to life’ is expressed in simple language so that everyone can understand it. Accuracy is put aside for rhetorical impact. We say: ‘All people have a right to life’, but what we mean is ‘All people have a right to go about their lives unharmed by others, so long as they are not harming anyone else.’ The second one is more accurate, but this first one is punchier. On closer inspection then, ‘the right to life’ is completely incompatible with assisted suicide, because we’re all obliged to not cause each other harm—basically to not kill one another.
The pro-‘right to die’ camp might interject here and ask: if the right to life is in place to minimise harm, what about the harm caused to people at the end of their lives, struggling in agony and indignity? This leads us nicely to a more fundamental problem with ‘right to die’.
Rights are for the living, not the dead. They exist to minimise harm, yes, but also to protect people, and give them their best shot at a good life. Is death ever the best shot at a good life? How can it be? Isn’t this an oxymoron?
The ‘right to die’ shares no philosophical relationships to the ‘right to life’. They are not two sides of the same coin, but opposites that do not attract. In fact, ‘right to die’ has less in common with ‘right to live’ (a philosophy that assumes human life is inherently valuable), than it does with nihilism. It imagines that the only life worth living is a life free of alignment. If we really want to build on the philosophy of ‘right to life’, we should do so by insisting that the dependent have just as much dignity as anyone else. That even if you’re dying, you have a right to live your life, until you die.

Assisted dying debate terrifying for disabled people, says actress Liz Carr.
Silent Witness actress (Liz Carr) is concerned about how this could affect vulnerable or disabled people. These fears are central to her new documentary Better Off Dead?, in which she makes the case against assisted dying in the UK.
Carr is afraid that changing the law for terminally ill people could eventually result in those who are poor, disabled or mentally ill being allowed to have an assisted death in the UK - or even feeling compelled to do so.

Nikki Kenward, campaign director of The Distant Voices, a user-led campaign group which opposes euthanasia and assisted suicide, told DNS she was “very concerned” at the momentum behind legalisation and now believed it would happen.
She said safeguards had failed in prisons, schools, children’s homes and within the police, so there was no reason why any safeguards would work with assisted suicide laws.

....under Oregon's assisted death law, one can achieve the status of being "incurably" sick even if the disease can be treated! Diseases that, without treatment, are expected to lead to death within six months are considered to be incurable and so qualify for assisted death.
