The UK gov’t wants to legalise “assisted dying”. Here’s what happens next.
Kit Knightly
The Parliament of the United Kingdom is moving forward with a vote on a new bill that will legalise assisted dying for those diagnosed with terminal illness.
The bill, proposed by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, has yet to be published in full. According to the BBC:
The details have not been finalised but the bill is likely to be similar to a proposal in the House of Lords, which would allow terminally ill adults with six months or fewer to live to get medical help to end their own lives.
This is the culmination of a years-long political, media and entertainment industry wide campaign to normalise euthanasia in the UK’s public mind.
In that time we have been told that assisted dying is good for people, good for the NHS and good for the environment.
The bill is expected to be formally introduced on 16 October, with the first debate to take place later this year, meaning the vote will likely be held in early 2025.
I would be stunned if it doesn’t pass.
Here is my prediction for what happens next…
– For the first year or so it will just be an option, you won’t hear much about it except in articles with headlines like “Assisted dying saved my parent/partner/child from years of pain”.
– After a year or two a report will come out claiming success via some tortured invented statistical measure like “assisted dying boosts patient well being scores in surveyed NHS hospitals”.
– Another will follow claiming waiting lists have improved due to decreased overcrowding in palliative care wards. They might even claim it’s decreased the NHS’s carbon footprint.
– Opinion pieces will appear with titles like “Assisted dying success story shuts down conspiracy theorists”.
– The minimum age to be considered for assisted dying will gradually be lowered. And the list of diseases and conditions for which assisted dying is a “recommended treatment alternative” will expand.
– Eventually non-lethal diseases will be included, then psychological illnesses too. Then physical and mental disabilities.
– Then will come an “emergency” – a fake one, obviously – and the NHS will come out of it shining thanks to resources “freed up” by euthanasia programs.
– Next will come the editorials. “Assisted dying is good for patients and saved the NHS during [fake pandemic], it’s time to make it mandatory”.
– A backbench MP will introduce a bill forcing anyone diagnosed with a fatal illness to be put on an assisted dying list.
– The bill will fail, and most of the press will oppose it, but the government will issue “common sense” compromise regulations where assisted dying is the default, but patients can opt out of if they want.
– It will never actually BE mandatory. But it WILL be harder and harder to get out of. If you choose to opt-in and later try to change your mind, you will be said to be mentally incompetent.
– Patients who don’t want to sign DNRs or opt for end of life care will be branded “selfish” and “irresponsible”. Studies will claim they are a strain on the NHS’s resources.
– Down the line, opting out will incur penalties to your pension payments and mean you are charged for healthcare, making it impossible for many older people to afford to stay alive.
– Then they’ll start panels where patients who are “mentally incompetent” have assisted dying recommended by “mercy tribunals”.
…and the whole time the establishment will claim there is freedom of choice, and no slippery slope at all.

Euthanasia in the Netherlands took effect in 2002.
No norm sliding happened. Didn’t uproot society, other things did: mass immigration, climate change, Covid measures, gender chang /, EU laws beyond EEC ones.
In a nut shell: woke Marxist entrenchment in bureaucracy is fatal.
In Canada we have had the MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) program for a few years now. They have slowly loosened the guidelines and ethics surrounding this highly controversial program where people that shouldn’t have been offered it have been.
Here’s a bit of a background and will need to read between some of the lines here…

Here is one example of a veteran being offered MAID that shouldn’t have.

Nice story. But the truth is the issue of assisted dying is complex, and there are legitimate concerns and cases for supporting or resisting it, regardless of your silly dystopian fantasy scenario.
Honestly, i used to think you were the grownups in the room.

Excellent description of their usual selling method.
However I have a sense that this will be genuinely popular amongst the gen pop.
As a measure of the level of despair yet to come
I think now, in this time it’s basically misery boot camp.
Clearly The Jab failed to do it’s job of getting rid of those

bottom line…
People suffer a lot more during their lifetimes than they are comfortable, money makes the pain go away with plenty of dry powder, but once one of those are gone, so is the desire to be here any longer.
the French recently had a taste of the why-don’t-you-check-out-already-you-useless-eater mentality with the pension cuts autocratically imposed by a political establishment so exasperated with these shameless old workers who have the bad taste to live long enough to actually collect some benefits from the contributions they paid in
in the debates about these social-security eviscerations it came out that the life expectancy for certain sectors of the labor force, among those doing the most grueling dirty work for the masters, is in fact below the new minimum retirement age
They need a list to be fair – top of the list should be the global elites along with the establishment and deep state…
Nothing happens by chance:
The full article by Henri Thibodeau has been republished below.
Back in 1969, Dr Richard Day made some astonishing predictions about where the world would be today.
Prematurely ending life when someone is terminal and suffering by their own or another’s hand all relates to the question of karma and karmic debts. The key word being “prematurely”, which is too soon, before the natural or suitable time.
*“Then something completely different occurred which I had not expected. Instead of the gentle withdrawal of the etheric body, as I described before, the etheric body swelled up. It swelled up powerfully and exploded in countless pieces. The room was full of shimmeringly bright and swirling shreds. The process only lasted a short time, less than a minute, then everything dissolved and disappeared. The light in the room became dim as it was before and her husband seemed not to have noticed anything. And I sat there, the syringe still in my hand. I was very, very shocked. Much became immediately clear to me. Immediately clear where the lie is. It is not only about premature death, and also not about the complete process of the illness. It goes much, much deeper, much further.
People believe they are being merciful when they help someone. To help someone who can no longer endure his suffering from an illness. And afterwards everyone is supposed to be satisfied. That woman’s husband is to this day. But actually something quite different has happened. One does something that, viewed externally, seems helpful and human. But what happens? This human being is catapulted into the cosmos without a post-mortem experience of remembering, without a post-mortem vision of his life panorama, and without spiritual light, because his etheric body explodes.”
*Extracts from “Destiny and the Process of Dying A Lecture by Dr. Zoltán Schermann”: https://www.sterbekultur.ch/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/6.2-Destiny-and-the-Process-of-Dying.-A-lecure-by-Dr.-med-Schermann.pdf
It is not for man, or womankind, to decide to prematurely end their life or the life of another of man, or womankind, as we are not God. By God I, do not mean religion, I, mean, the one from which we came and to which we will return. We are all unique and we do not know what is good for us, let alone what is good for others of man, and womankind.
**”Since March 2020, a transnational deep state operation (Hughes, 2022b) has been underway to institute a novel, technocratic form of totalitarianism. In many ways, we are still at the thin edge of the wedge, but the warning signs are undeniable. Although, in the West, we may not yet find ourselves “under the yoke of totalitarian regimes comparable to those we know so well from the twentieth century, there is no doubt that we are faced with a global paradigm that brings forth steadily expanding totali-tarian tendencies […]” (Alting von Geusau, 2021). However, Alting von Geusau is wrong to claim that those tendencies are not “planned intentionally or maliciously.” They are by design, instigated by a transnational ruling class seeking recourse to totalitarianism in response to an acute crisis of capitalism—the same principle as in the 1930s. Then, as now, totalitarianism did not simply spring, fully formed, into existence. The descent into its worst horrors took place over many years. The origins of Nazi genocide, for instance, can be traced back to earlier euthanasia programmes, making the reappearance of state-sponsored euthanasia since 2020 deeply troubling (Hughes et al., 2022).”

Talking from heaven as a previous terminal ill patient, assisted
dryingdying was the happiest moment in my life on earth.It saved month if not years from the torture of being together with you arseholes down there. We are HAPPY we got away from you guys as early as possible. 👼 👼 👼
‘Assisted Dying’ is the State’s re-definition of death by The Electric
Chair, The Rope, and death by ‘Lethal Injection’.
As for Medically Assisted Death (MAD), is that really ‘practicing
medicine’ ?
Perhaps we could suggest a better, more resilient, more sustainable, more inclusive and ethical retirement package. How about rewilding the sick and elderly. Let them see out their days in the countryside. For them that wants it.
I’m not worried. We already have medical murder even when you don’t ask for it. Remember con-vid? Don’t forget the common treatment for cancer, toxins called chemo. At least when they start to do it officially, we will have statistics and honestly, I had a family member that had to suffer for years despite her wanting to pass. They’ll fight for your right to be poisoned but you’re not allowed to die?
Also kit, your audio sounds horrible when you do interviews and shows.
Can you please try another mic or different settings?
Plus there are about 20 cheap cancer treatments that are never used or trialled because there is no profit
Dear Kit,
It is a very pertinent article, sorry for my pedantic observation:
I would stunned if it doesn’t pass.
Didn’t you forget something ?
We will always have Soylent Green, obsessively recurrent these days.
Thank you for the article !
