Assisted dying bill for England and Wales: what amendments are likely to be proposed?

The assisted dying bill's passage marks a historic milestone but raises concerns over vulnerable individuals potentially feeling pressured into ending their lives due to caring costs.

Many MPs who supported the bill anticipate amendments addressing their concerns about patient coercion and the definition of dishonesty related to assisted dying.

Critics challenge the existing provisions, advocating for improved safeguards against coercion and a more patient-led approach to the discussion of assisted dying.

Calls for specific medical training and licensing reflect the urgency to ensure vulnerable patients are protected against coercion in the assisted dying process.
