terminal illness and incurable suffering in assisted dying laws

terminal illness and incurable suffering in assisted dying laws

Published by skeptic

Discussions of assisted dying laws are full of jargon and technical phrases. Let’s try to explain two of them – perhaps the most important pair. Generally speaking, assisted dying laws determine eligibility for patients based on either terminal illness or incurable suffering. And there are different definitions of these terms within different laws. At Humanists UK, we believe that an adult of sound mind who is intolerably suffering from an incurable, physical condition and has a clear and settled wish to die should have the option of an assisted death. That is true whether someone is terminally ill or incurably suffering. Being able to die, with dignity, in a manner of our choosing should be understood as a fundamental human right. Terminal illness The meaning of ‘terminal illness’ varies between assisted dying bills/laws across the UK, USA, New Zealand, and Australia. In the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill [HL], which has been proposed in the House of Lords, terminal illness refers to diagnosed conditions which will inevitably worsen but cannot be reversed by …

This AI-powered Linux terminal app can help you learn how to use commands

Published by skeptic

Jack Wallen/ZDNET I’ve been using Linux for decades and even though the GUIs have all become good enough that I could go without ever running another command, I still often depend on the terminal and CLI (Command Line Interface) when I want to get things done quickly. Not everyone is as familiar with the command line, though, and some find it overwhelming. Also: The first 5 Linux commands every new user should learn It doesn’t have to be so, as there are new applications that make learning and doing at the same time possible…thanks to AI. One such app is called AI Shell. Now, before we get into this application, know that it depends on OpenAI and, as such, it’s not free. To use this app you must have an OpenAI account with sufficient credits.  If using a paid service isn’t up your alley, you can always turn to an app like Warp. If, however, you already have an OpenAI account, AI Shell is a great option because it works with any terminal app you …

Is Britain doomed to terminal decline? It all depends on how you feel

Is Britain doomed to terminal decline? It all depends on how you feel

Published by skeptic

A Labour government will need to be robust, honest and busy. Its challenges are too numerous to list (24 per cent satisfaction in the NHS anyone?), but it must provide evidence that change is possible and happening. Hope is an elusive quality but just generating some is half the battle. There’s a tendency in the British psyche to accept decline as natural, that yesterday was always better. We’re a tough crowd. During the financial crisis of 2008, Britain’s other great modern satirist, Nigel Blackwell of the band Half Man Half Biscuit, released the song National Shite Day, a six-minute excoriation of just how awful life can seem here. It’s our default setting in hard times, and it’s always hard times for someone somewhere. Source link

Last week the minister came to the Port of Southampton to meet with representatives from Associated British Ports (ABP) and Solent Stevedores, whose joint £17.5 million investment aims to cement the city as the UK’s leading gateway for deep-sea trade. The project has yielded an 18-acre facility which can handle laden and empty containers, plus storage, maintenance and repair, all within a single-site boundary – a first for the port. The larger site includes a new track layout to allow for simultaneous train arrival and departures, boosting the terminal’s efficiency and extending the rail loading pad by 130m.
