El Reino Unido y la muerte asistida

Share

La Cámara de los Comunes del Reino Unido aprobó preliminarmente este viernes un proyecto de ley para permitir la muerte asistida a pacientes terminales en Inglaterra y Gales, en lo que podría ser una de las más profundas reformas sociales del país en décadas.

De acuerdo con la legislación propuesta, solo podrán solicitar la muerte asistida los ciudadanos ingleses y galeses, mayores de 18 años, que hayan sido diagnosticados con una enfermedad terminal y les queden menos de seis meses de vida.

Los solicitantes requerirán la autorización de dos médicos y de un juez del Tribunal Supremo, además de que deberán autoadministrarse los medicamentos que podrán fin a sus vidas.

Se espera que se presenten modificaciones al proyecto de ley, a medida que es examinado por las comisiones parlamentarias. Hasta el momento se han planteado más de 200 enmiendas en ambas cámaras, por lo que es de prever que la propuesta sea objeto de un intenso escrutinio.

Canadienses sin enfermedades terminales buscan la eutanasia: ¿cuáles son las razones?

Por otro lado, a pesar de que el primer ministro del Reino Unido, Keir Starmer respaldó el proyecto de ley, algunos miembros de su Gabinete votaron en contra. Entre los altos funcionarios que desaprobaron la propuesta se encuentran los ministros de Asuntos Exteriores, de Salud y de Justicia, David Lammy, Wes Streeting y Shabana Mahmood, respectivamente.

En la Cámara de los Comunes no se había debatido un proyecto de ley sobre muerte asistida desde 2015, cuando una medida similar fue rechazada ampliamente. La actual propuesta podría marcar un cambio en la historia del Reino Unido, comparable con la legalización del aborto y la abolición de la pena de muerte. Esas dos leyes fueron aprobadas en 1967 y 1969, respectivamente.

Hasta el momento, la muerte asistida es legal en Alemania, Austria, Bélgica, Canadá, Colombia, España, Nueva Zelanda, Países Bajos, Portugal, Suiza y Luxemburgo, así como en 10 estados y un distrito (Columbia) de EE.UU.

Bono could never be have an impact in Ireland other than a greedy tax evasion.

If the only thing Michael Collins is remembered for is getting us a 26 County Independent, then he did nothing wrong….

The life and legacy of Michael Collins is truly a magnificent one. He was the founder of modern day guerilla warfare and his tactics were adopted by the Provisional IRA fifty years later.

Michael Collins is Ireland’s greatest hero.
If he’d stayed alive for another 10/20 years we would’ve got complete freedom

I’m sure there was plenty of fantastic men women in Éire over the years of oppression, that showed great bravery and knowledge, however has anyone ever changed the country as much as Michael Collins.

Collins ranks high among those who have stood up against injustice by oppressive regimes. Ireland has a true worthy son in whom to invest their gratitude and pride.

I’ve always felt close to Ireland because it’s a nation that knows what it means to fight for freedom much like our own Jomo Kenyatta and the Mau Mau did for Kenya in the 50s and 60s. I visited Cork, Beal na Blath, in 1996 where this great man was assassinated.

He wanted to get His Country out of British subservience! He may well have succeeded ; but unfortunately Militants asasinated him in West Cork; allowing Others to take the country into dark days for decades! Still one of my all time Heroes! 🙂
