Care Not Killing responds to “deeply worrying” proposal to ditch High Court safeguard from Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide bill.
Care Not Killing disappointed at second reading vote, but welcomes the growing number of MPs expressing concern about legalising assisted suicide.
"Only 11% are immune to any anti-assisted dying arguments, suggesting that large swathes of the public remain fluid in their view."
Warning to MPs as Leadbeater Bill second reading nears.
"This bill is being rushed with indecent haste and ignores the deep-seated problems in the UK’s broken and patchy palliative care system and the crisis in social care"
A motion proposing support for a change in the law at Westminster is voted down 26-19.
"Two thirds of the panel... were... in favour of changing the law... before taking any evidence. So, what could have been a serious contribution to this important debate seemingly fails the impartiality test."
