everywhere. the fact standard everywhere. the fact that it doesn't happen on a weekend is ridiculous. people die seven days a week. it should be there seven days a week. and i'm so sorry you experienced it. what i would say also is please go back to the report and also to the archbishop , lord welby, to the archbishop, lord welby, that it very clearly states there is no slippery slope. so vulnerable older people are not more likely to be forced into an assisted death . that palliative assisted death. that palliative care also in the countries that have this assisted dying law, increases in its brilliance. it it doesn't get worse. and in many cases it gets so much better. so it is not an either or. it's an alongside and i definitely think palliative care should be something that is constantly scrutinised and well funded. i mean, that basically thatis funded. i mean, that basically that is what my mother is having at the moment. it is not something that we should just brush off. it's really , really brush off. it's really, really important. but in this report, they spent 14 months researching
7:31 am
all the data around the world, and it showed that the countries that have this legislation, palliative care improves. at very least it stays the same. so that shouldn't be a worry. and i am very concerned about talking about vulnerable people feeling about vulnerable people feeling a burden on society. i think thatis a burden on society. i think that is a horrible reflection upon our society, and it definitely should be looked into, but it is incredibly separate. i can't, i can't express more. it's very separate to what we are asking for. we are not asking for people with disabilities, mental incapacity or older people to be allowed into this realm of assisted dying. this is about people who absolutely are 100% cleared by doctors. there is mental capability. they are they are not being coerced. and actually the safeguards surrounding a new legislation like this would protect them more. there's no safeguards at the moment, which is why these people are being abused. >> well, you're asking for choice, as is your mother asking
7:32 am
for choice. and as i say, her story front page of the express today, she said, i need your help to change cruel law . help to change cruel law. rebecca, thank you for your time. appreciate you talking to us today. and please give your your mother our fondest and i hope everything's okay. thank you very much. >> our very best. thank you. rebecca. appreciate it. and do let us know at home what you think about this already. so many of you have been getting in touch with a whole range of views. christina saying this is aninsuh views. christina saying this is an insult to those of us who don't believe we have the right to end a life. john talks about when his dad passed away, he said he was surrounded by family and a marie curie palliative nurse at home. we didn't want doctor death to come in and put him down like a dog. whereas scarlett says, i'm with you, eamonn. it's our choice, not somebody else's. to make my life. if i'm in pain
