A recent poll reveals public concern regarding the timing of proposed assisted dying legislation alongside significant welfare cuts, with 51% expressing worry. Although 71% support assisted dying for terminally ill individuals in pain, nearly 60% doubt the law's ability to prevent abuses. Michael Robinson from SPUC indicates that the public's understanding of the potential implications of the law is more nuanced than that of its proponents. The article emphasizes the need for ongoing journalistic coverage to navigate these critical discussions.
"The polling clearly shows the public has a much better understanding of the problems with changing the law than proponents of the bill believe."
"While 71% of respondents support the principle of assisted dying for terminally ill adults, nearly 60% worry that no law can prevent abuse by rogue medics."
