Weโ€™re not having an election anytime soon. We donโ€™t govern by polls. Itโ€™s called a parliamentary democracy. We elect representatives (MPs) every 5 yrs. get over it

Obviously ridiculous as weโ€™re not likely to have an election any time soon. Get real

If youโ€™re worried about Prostate Cancer, and youโ€™re a man, get your PSA checked. Itโ€™s a simple blood test. It will tell you your risk, then you can decide with your doctor, what to do next.

I understand the arguments.

I still prefer the Gordon Brown argument for better palliative care.

As a GP I wouldnโ€™t wish to be involved in judging someoneโ€™s competence to wish to end their own life.

Keeping someone comfortable while withdrawing life prolonging interventions seems preferable

I didnโ€™t spend a lifetime as a doctor to sign away someoneโ€™s life. There are too many risks. I will be one of those agreeing to do this

Well I for one will not be approving a patient on mine to take their own life
