      That is completely fair and normal, this bill is for people with 6 months or less left to live who want to go out peacefully, it’s down to the individual to choose.

      We don’t want to influence people’s decision with adverts or pushing them, they simply need to know that it is an option and that is it.

      “Dumped? In financial trouble? Are currently experiencing a terminal illness? Just “sort of bored” with life?!?!

      At Assist-To-Die our on the floor prices WILL NOT BE BEAT! If you can find a cheaper option, we’ll gift you a FREE Assist-To-Die wallet and pen set!

      I think that’s fair enough, if it’s a serious medical necessity, I trust doctors to handle it with grace and care.

      This makes complete sense, I don’t see adverts for horrible medical procedures, why would this be any different? The purpose of the legislation is to allow someone to choose to die with dignity, it becoming another marketing exercise undermines that completely.

      Maybe I’m missing something but who’d be paying for the adverts? Who’d stand to make money from assisted dying?

      Surely the lethal injections will be covered by the NHS?

      Or are we imagining that private clinics might pop up to give you a premium death, maybe with a nicer view and a bottle of champagne. *Buy your death now and get a free bronze tier funeral (death must be before 1st January 2030).*

      How will I know if they offer finance?

      I’d love to go out leaving my partner with an annoying 7.99 for 60 months to remember me by

      Sure they will, they have been moving the goalposts since this started so I don’t believe a word she says even if she said water was wet

      I’d rather see a ban on Kim leadbeater. She’s a ghoul who still can’t be arsed to stand up for the teacher, in her constituency, who is still in hiding

      Government overreach gone mad!

      This is the woke mind virus gone Polictiaclly Correct!

      Next you’ll be telling me that I can’t advertise my canabis farm any more, just because it’s being decriminalised.

      ‘As a healthy rich person I can’t understand or support assisted dying’

      F.U.

      Seems like a good thing honestly.
      Attempting to encourage people to commit suicide as a business strategy is pretty awful. Though I do appreciate why the option itself should be legally available.
