In a landscape marked by urgency, MP Kim Leadbeater champions the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, emphasizing safeguards against coercion to ensure a thoughtful discussion around assisted dying.
Leadbeater's bill requires that terminally ill individuals with a life expectancy of six months or less must have their wish to die validated by two doctors and the High Court, outlining a careful legal framework.
Critics of the bill express concern over the rushed pace at which it is being introduced, fearing that inadequately scrutinized legislation could pose risks to vulnerable individuals.
