The Prime Minister was among the 330 MPs who voted in favour of it

I am really uncomfortable with MP's voting for State Suicide today. Do you really trust the self serving pigs of Westminster not to let the guidelines be relaxed? Was there any real need to change the law? One thing for sure is that five hours debate on a Friday was not enough time to discuss this vital subject. Transport Minister, Louise Haigh has resigned after it was revealed she is a convicted fraudster. The story is even more complicated as one has to question what did Starmer know about her past?

“Live authentically, as much as possible, and as soon as possible.” This is the advice from entrepreneur Travis Luther, who joins Alex Raymond in this episode to explore the weighty themes of mortality, regret, and pursuing a life true to oneself. Having spent the past year interviewing terminally ill entrepreneurs, Travis brings forward the moving insights he's gathered on what truly matters when life's timeline suddenly feels finite. Reflecting on his own personal loss, he contrasts the difference between a life driven by passion and one on autopilot—a common struggle for entrepreneurs who often trade present joy for future security.   Travis and Alex dive into the regrets most commonly voiced by younger people unexpectedly confronted by mortality—health, personal fulfillment, and the need for real connections. What fears keep us from pursuing what we truly want? How much time are we willing to risk on things that don't matter? Travis challenges listeners to live intentionally, guided by what truly drives them. By sharing a glimpse into his upcoming book, “What We Learn When We Learn We're Dying,” he leaves us with a reminder: make choices today that you won't regret tomorrow.   Quotes “What is going on in your unlived life or on your unlived path? And if there's something that you can take away that's a universal truth that doesn't have anything to do with personal regret, it's this idea that the sooner we can bring our lived and unlived lives together, the sooner we can live as our authentic selves and in harmony, the happier we're gonna be.” (23:56 | Travis Luther) “When we disconnect ourselves from our mortality, we lose that sense of urgency that's necessary to also do the things that are going to be personally fulfilling to us, and to avoid the regret or the time spent not living as our authentic selves.” (27:07 | Travis Luther) “I think what people at the end of their lives realize is that the accomplishment itself is not the thing that releases that stress and anxiety and everything that's boiling inside of you. It is the lack of trying.” (31:32 | Travis Luther) “If I tried to consolidate all this information into one simple saying… it would be: live authentically, as much as possible, and as soon as possible.” (39:44 | Travis Luther)   Links Connect with Travis Luther: Website: https://travisluther.com/   Connect with Alex Raymond: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/afraymond/ Website: https://amplifyam.com/ HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

A Utah man, DeWayne McCulla, 46, pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter after admitting he tried to kill his terminally ill wife, Arenda McCulla, 47, in an effort to "ease her suffering" during her battle with invasive ductal carcinoma breast cancer. Arenda was diagnosed with cancer in 2020, which later spread to her neck, brain, lungs, and liver by October 2021. Despite undergoing multiple rounds of radiation, she suffered severe radiation burns causing open sores and blisters in her throat, making it impossible for her to eat. She was placed in hospice care at her home in La Verkin, a small town in southwest Utah. On December 20, 2021, while surrounded by six family members, DeWayne began choking Arenda. Family members had to pull him off as she gasped for air. Arenda passed away the following night due to her illness. Her son, Anthony Ryder, who had set up a GoFundMe page for her treatment, filed a police report in 2022 regarding DeWayne's actions, prompting an investigation. According to a probable cause affidavit, DeWayne admitted to attempting to end his wife's life to alleviate her suffering. "He said he put his face up against hers and put his one hand around her neck next to her carotid artery and pushed just hard enough to help her suffering and make her pass away quicker," detectives noted. Initially charged with attempted murder, DeWayne faced up to 15 years to life in prison. However, he accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to attempted manslaughter, a third-degree felony, now facing up to five years in state prison. His sentencing is scheduled for December 12. Anthony Ryder expressed opposition to the plea deal and plans to address the court during the sentencing hearing. "She didn't die with dignity," he told KSL in December.

If one has a close friend or family member who is gravely ill and enduring a great deal of suffering, and the physicians have determined that the patient cannot be cured, it is permissible, or proper, to pray that the patient should die so he does not suffer any longer? A possible Talmudic source for this kind of prayer is the story told in Masechet Ketubot (104) of the death of Rebbe (Rabbi Yehuda Ha'nasi). The Rabbi took ill, and all the Rabbis prayed on his behalf. Rebbe's maidservant went to the roof of the house and cried, "The upper worlds want Rebbe, and the lower worlds want Rebbe. May it be His will that the lower worlds prevail over the upper worlds." The maid went inside, and she noticed how terribly Rebbe was suffering. His illness forced him to make frequent trips to the restroom, causing him an inordinate amount of discomfort. The maid returned to the rooftop and cried, "May it be His will that the upper worlds prevail over the lower worlds." Once she saw Rebbe's suffering, it seems, she changed her prayer, and prayed that Rebbe should die. Seeing that Rebbe remained alive in the merit of the Rabbis' prayers, the maidservant threw a glass off the roof, and when it reached the ground and shattered, it made a loud, sudden noise that disrupted the Rabbis' prayers. At that moment, Rebbe died. The Ran (Rabbenu Nissim of Gerona, Spain, 1320-1380), in Masechet Nedarim, references this story, and draws proof from the maidservant's prayers that in certain situations, it is proper to pray that a patient should die. Specifically, the Ran explains, such a prayer is appropriate if there is no longer any possibility of the patient recovering, and the patient endures suffering because of his illness. On this basis, the Ran explains the Gemara's comment in Masechet Nedarim (40a) that visiting an ill patient is vitally important, because if one does not visit the patient, then he "does not pray for him – neither that he should live, nor that he should die." The Ran explains that one of the purposes of visiting the sick is to observe the patient's condition firsthand so he will be aroused to pray. Sometimes, he will be aroused to pray that the patient should live, and in other occasions, he will be aroused to pray that the patient should die. Specifically, as in the case of Rebbe's maidservant, if one sees that the patient cannot be cured, and endures suffering, he should pray for the patient's life to end so he will not suffer any longer. A different view is presented by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in his Ben Yehoyada commentary to the Talmud (Masechet Ketubot). He explains that the maidservant made these pronouncements not as prayers to G-d, but rather to relay to the Rabbis information about Rebbe's condition. As she tended to the Rabbi's needs, she knew about his condition and wished to convey the latest information to Rebbe's colleagues. When she saw that Rebbe was suffering, she announced to the Rabbis that the time had come for the "upper worlds to triumph over the lower worlds" – meaning, that Rebbe should die. She was telling the Rabbis that they should stop praying, because their prayers were prolonging Rebbe's suffering. According to the Ben Ish Hai, then, one should not pray for a terminally ill patient to die, but one should instead stop praying for the patient to live, once the situation is such that the prayers would just be prolonging the patient's suffering. This is in contrast to the view of the Ran, who ruled that one may actually pray for the patient to die in such a case. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Russia-New York, 1895-1986), in Iggerot Moshe (Hoshen Mishpat 2:75), posits that even according to the Ran, this Halacha is extremely limited in scope. The Ran stated that one may pray for a patient to die only once it is certain that the patient will not recover. Apparently, Rav Moshe explained, Rebbe's maidservant – who was known to be an especially righteous woman – had a unique power of prayer, and she sensed in this situation that her prayers would be ineffective and Rebbe would not survive. In such a case, the Ran maintains, it is appropriate to pray that a patient should die to avoid further suffering. In the vast majority of situations, however, we have no way of conclusively determining whether or not a patient will survive, and so such a prayer would not be appropriate. Others, however, disagree, and maintain that just as we rely on doctors' medical assessments in other areas of Halacha, such as when a patient should be fed on Yom Kippur, or driven to a hospital on Shabbat, we likewise rely on doctors' assessments in this regard, as well. Accordingly, the Aruch Ha'shulhan (Rav Yechiel Michel Epstein of Nevarduk, 1829-1908), in Yoreh De'a (335:3), accepts the Ran's view as practical Halacha, ruling that if a patient is suffering and it is certain that he will not recover, one should pray for him to die. A third view is presented by Rav Moshe Sternbuch (contemporary), in his Teshubot Ve'hanhagot. He tells that Rav Shmuel Rozovsky (1913-1979), the great Rosh Yeshiva of Ponevezh, was very ill and endured terrible pain. A disciple visited him, and Rav Rozovsky asked the student to pray "that the Almighty shall spare me from suffering – either that I should leave, or that the suffering should leave." In other words, the appropriate prayer to recite in such a situation is that the patient should no longer suffer, and that G-d would decide how this should be achieved – either through the patient's recovery, or through the patient's passing. This is reminiscent of the story told of a certain Lubavitcher Hasid who, like many Rabbis in Lubavitch, was sent by the Lubavitcher Rebbe (Rav Menachem Mendel Schneerson, 1902-1994) to a remote location to help facilitate religious life, but he had a very difficult time. The conditions were so harsh that this Rabbi endured poverty and poor health. Finally, after a number of years, he sent a letter to the Rebbe asking if he could be relieved of his mission, which was causing him great suffering. The Rebbe wrote a letter back to the Rabbi saying, "Every person who comes into this world has a purpose to fulfill. Your purpose is this mission that I sent you on. Instead of asking to be relieved of your mission, you should be asked to be relieved of your suffering." The Rabbi heeded the Rebbe's advice, and decided to remain. With time, the condition improved, he was very successful. In a similar vein, when a terminally ill patient is suffering, according to Rav Sternbuch, the appropriate response is to pray that the suffering should end, in the manner in which G-d sees fit. It is not for us to decide how the suffering to end; we should simply beseech G-d that it should end quickly in the way which G-d decides. It would seem that this is, indeed, the best approach to take in such a situation. Summary: According to some opinions, it is permissible, and even appropriate, to pray that an ill patient should die if the doctors have determined that he cannot be cured and he is enduring great suffering. However, the preferred practice in this unfortunate circumstance is to simply pray to G-d for the patient's suffering to end, in the manner which G-d decides is best for the patient.

She is the founder of the George Mark Children's House (http://georgemark.org), the first freestanding children's palliative care facility to open in the United States. The subject of death is taboo, especially with children, but as Dr. Hull says, "children don't stop dying just because we the adults can't comprehend the injustice of losing them".

Supporters of what's called the End-of-Life Options Act launched a campaign this week to pass the legislation in 2024. It would give people with terminal illnesses access to medication to end their lives. MPR News reporter Dana Ferguson joined the show to give MPR News host Cathy Wurzer the details.

Ellen Kennedy is on a mission to fulfill her husband's dying wish — to create options for terminally ill patients that he was denied.Kennedy's husband Leigh Lawton for years struggled with multiple myeloma — a form of blood cancer — before he died late last year. He underwent chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, emergency treatments and had toxic reactions to medications. And toward the end, Kennedy said, all he wanted was a medication that would end his life.“One of the last wishes that my husband expressed was that I would advocate for this option for people who, unlike him, perhaps could choose this at the end of their lives,” Kennedy said. “This was an option that he deeply regretted he did not have. So it was his final request of me. And I felt an obligation to honor that dying wish.”Kennedy is executive director of World Without Genocide, and ahead of the 2024 Minnesota legislative session she said she'll urge lawmakers to pass the End-of-Life Options Act, which would make it legal for terminally ill, mentally capable adults to be prescribed and take a medication to end their life.She joined doctors, chronically ill adults, people who've experienced the death of a loved one and others on Wednesday to talk about the proposal and begin campaigning for its approval in St. Paul.Under the bill, a person would have to get a sign off from two health care providers verifying that they are terminally ill and have a prognosis of six months or less to live. They would also need to be found to be mentally capable of deciding they want to take the medication and not being coerced to take it.There could then be a separate mental health assessment if either provider has doubts about a patient's capacity to opt in. If a patient meets all the criteria, a physician could provide them the medication and the patient can choose to take it, ending their life.Ten other states, along with Washington D.C. have enacted similar measures, and advocates hope Minnesota will become the eleventh.The bill didn't get a hearing this year as lawmakers focused on writing a two-year budget and approving a stack of policies that DFLers had been waiting years to get across the finish line. But the bill's authors say they think 2024 will be the year to pass the proposal. Sen. Kelly Morrison, a Deephaven, Minn., Democrat, said she's working to get the bill set for a committee hearing early in the legislative session and she's trying to build bipartisan backing for it.“There's support for it across all demographic groups, and that includes political parties. So I'm reaching out to my Republican colleagues as well, their constituents want this bill to be passed into law. So I'm hopeful that this will end up being a bipartisan effort,” Morrison said.Historically, the proposal has had stronger backing from legislative Democrats than Republicans. And with Democrats in control over the House, Senate and the governor's office, it appears to have a path forward, as long as Morrison can win over her DFL colleagues or pick up a Republican or two to bridge the narrow gap in the Senate.Some faith organizations and Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life have opposed the bill in years past and say they'll keep up their efforts to block it going into 2024. They said there needs to be a check-in with a mental health professional required as part of the assessment.“It's something that we're going to try and inform more folks about what the dangers are, and why this is not a road that we should be going down. And we should be working to make sure that patients get all the care that they need, including palliative care and so forth. But that this is a dangerous direction,” said MCCL Communications Director Paul Stark.The danger, Stark said, is that people who are depressed could choose to end their lives without seeing a psychiatrist or being fully evaluated. Supporters of the measure say that's unlikely. The lawmakers and doctors who have supported the bill said it would help terminally ill patients to end their suffering. They also said that it can help start conversations between physicians and patients about end of life, which can be difficult.Dr. Joanne Roberts practiced palliative care in Washington — a state that has had a similar law on the books for more than a decade— and she said it helped end the “conspiracy of silence” at the doctor's office.“We saw more patients bringing up the issue of end of life care with their doctors, because they felt empowered over the law,” she said. “So we had more conversations around end of life care, no matter what people chose.”Lawmakers are set to return to St. Paul for the 2024 legislative session on Feb. 12.
