MPs (most of whom knew very little about the subject) voted for the Bill but probably thought that they were merely allowing the Bill to begin an arduous journey before becoming law.
The next step in turning the Bill into law was for a committee of MPs to look into the issue more closely. The committee has the responsibility of scrutinising the Bill.
But Ms. Leadbeater, who introduced the Bill, has a considerable amount of power over the committee.
In fact she has picked the members of the committee. She chose who would sit on the committee and most of the MPs she picked, and who have a known view, voted for her Bill.
And she has picked the witnesses who will give evidence.
The witnesses were picked in secret and I’d bet that a surprising number of the witnesses back euthanasia.
Doctors have been deliberately killing people for years.
First, there was the Liverpool Care Pathway – a scheme whereby doctors were allowed to kill off the elderly, the frail, the vulnerable and the sick if they were considered to be an unproductive waste of space. The Liverpool Care Pathway was supposed to have been discarded. But it hasn’t been. Doctors still use it to kill patients who are regarded as a nuisance.
Second, there were the Do Not Resuscitate notices which were and are used as an excuse to kill anyone who has an illness which needs a lot of medical or nursing care. Patients are supposed to be given the option of whether or not to agree to a DNR notice. “Sign here and if you feel poorly, we’ll put you out of your misery.” Note the word “supposed.” In practice doctors, and especially nurses, slap DNR notices on anyone they decide should be dead.
And now comes Leadbeater’s “Kill by Doctor” Bill – in my view, the official approval of genocide; the slaughter of the innocent and the infirm – the very people doctors should protect. I believe it is a Bill which will put an end to the final vestiges of dignity and decency in medical practice. Doctors are supposed to care for patients, not to kill them.There is, I fear, one point that Leadbeater’s committee might not hear....<<<Read More>>>...
