@JennBridge I had no clear thoughts about it until recently, when I watched a lifelong friend suffer a horrific death. It definitely changed my perspective 🥰

@ElizabethM59341 If you feel able to, an email to our politicians would be a great help.

@JennBridge 2-if u follow debate in places like Benelux (bet u do) then ppl wiv MH get parity- can't see that happening here, but I think it should. If ppl wanna go, why not? Why let peple suffer against their will if they are suffering & want to let go gently?" MH is painful, like C etc.

@hope4jersey I do understand where you are coming from but I feel this is such a huge step for our politicians that it is important to focus on what is quantifiable, manageable and achievable.

@JennBridge I remember my stepfather saying,as he was laying in pain, if I was a dog they would put me down but they won’t.☹️ He was in soo much pain.🥲

@DEBMillbank I read somewhere that if I let my dog suffer as some people suffer I’d be in court for animal cruelty. If you feel able to write to our politicians it would be appreciated.

@JennBridge Has anyone from Jersey engaged with Dignitas to see if we can model our assisted dying in the same way? Ppl with religious beliefs can’t dictate for those of us who aren’t religious We don’t get many choices in our life this should be a choice

@lisanoel1968 The details is in the report which runs to 246 pages. Essentially, it will be a liquid that a person will drink in medical supervision. .

@JennBridge I fear lingering with no control of my life more than I fear death.

@gsd_mike I think this is what many people feel.

@JennBridge My (healthy) mum has already told me and my 3 siblings that she is prepared to leave Jersey and travel elsewhere to have the right to die should the time ever come. She wants choice.

@RamonaofJersey If you feel able, would you consider emailing States members - even just to express what you have said here.

@JennBridge Have you read "With the End in Mind" by Dr Kathryn Mannix... I think it's the one book that really gave me proper pause for thought. As a "terminal" cancer patient, I now sit on the fence on this issue. Even though I know it's likely that a very uncomfortable death is coming...

@little_emmabird Im sorry to hear this Emma, the proposal for route one are proportionate and considered. There are a number of layers of safeguarding. We can look to places such as Oregon where this process has run successfully without issue. We estimate, based on our population size, that…

@JennBridge As a patient with incurable cancer and an ex nurse of 20 years, I can see where you are coming from. However, in context, what is happening politically with the punitive way disabled individuals are being treated right now I wouldnt want this government changing the law!

@CFArtTherapy We support route one which is for terminally ill people. Being disabled in itself would not be a reason to access AD. This is for the 2 to 7 people per year whose suffering cannot be managed by palliative care and who want the dignity of autonomy in their last weeks.

@JennBridge It's a very slippery slope and you're not God. Absolutely disagree.

@GirlScout27 There are people of faith who support assisted dying such as the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, who described the role of a doctor assisting dying as an "act of great generosity, kindness and human love", looking to end their suffering and release them from pain.…

@JennBridge Well said 👏

@JennBridge Agreed
