Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
Activities involving uncomfortable and even frowned-upon measures, especially when they involve killing, have of course often been subject to euphemism. The inclusion of euphemism in this Bill is, to me, a troubling and worrying sign about the degree to which the Bill’s proponents are genuinely ready to defend in public the specifics of what they advocate in this Bill. I suggest that we should avoid those risks and concerns by being clear and unambiguous about what is involved.
