  it will be used the same way it is in canada, to remove “undesirables”
  this can also be seen by the severe cutting of disability benefits
  they want to get rid of disabled people and this gives them a convenient way to do it

    For fucks sake, it’s not something you can force on other people.

    This is a quick way out for people with less than six months left to live to avoid prolonged suffering.

      the canadian version of this has had many stories of poor and disabled people being coerced into it, it’s why a large portion of disability rights campaigners have opposed it

  I didnt see much about religion from a cursory glance at BBCs interviews after the vote, mostly objections to it lacking what those consider enough safeguards.
