The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, set for a historic vote, aims to allow medically-assisted dying for terminally ill patients under strict safeguards including the approval of two doctors and a High Court judge.
Supporters argue the bill is a compassionate choice for those suffering, with prominent ministers labeling it the most robust assisted dying law globally, aimed at preventing coercion.
Opponents of the bill, including faith leaders and former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, express concerns over potential misuse and a slippery slope arising from its implementation.
The debate reflects deep ethical, religious, and societal divisions, particularly within the Labour Party where accusations of discrimination tied to religious opposition have caused significant controversy.
