Assisted when dying*, or assisted to (encouraged to?) suicide

How many may wish, but later relief, that there wish had not been granted: 

Mum-in-law, a hurting, and hard lady
angrily hoped she would never be dependant on  help, and would die reasonably young.
Now, 105, and certainly fading (!), but the last 10 years has seen
a finding of peace, mental and spiritual, 
and a sorting out of many of the hurts of her childhood and younger years.
She is a grateful patient, in her Care Home and appreciated by staff,
waiting, and sleeping quietly.
Her residence there has enabled her family to get to know others there with needs,
and a welcome to hold popular little Christian services –
how even those with dementia remember tunes, and words
of hymns from their childhood.
The time of graciously receiving help can be such a blessing to receiver,
and unconscious of how they do so much good to those who serve and visit.

[*Assistance while nearing death, and dying is the work of hospice, more money needed, more helpers. Many find the palliative care unavailable.
But hasty legislation to assist suicide without the suggested safeguards is dangerous, not kind –
Royal colleges representing psychiatrists, Pathologist and Physician.
disability groups, mental health and eating disorder suppport groups have all lined up to oppose this badly presented, piece of legislation with evidence.

The majority of suggested amendments were not even debated, nor voted on.
Almost every reasonable amendment to protect the vulnerable has been rejeccted.

Rejected: Protections for the homeless and those with Down’s syndrome.
A prohibition on encouraging or coercing someone into assisted suicide.
A requirement that there must be ‘reasonable certainty’ over the six-month diagnosis.
Even requiring capacity to include the ability to understand key details.
Medics opposed to assisted suicide do not get a proper opt out, neither do hospices who could also lose statutory funding if they choose care over killing, forcing them to close. 

What had been previously marketed as the ‘ultimate safeguard’ – sign-off for assisted suicide applications from a High Court judge has been axed.]
