Have your say: Has the assisted dying bill been strengthened or lost its safeguards?
Briefly

The Independent is dedicated to delivering unbiased journalism on critical issues ranging from reproductive rights to assisted dying legislation. As they report on live developments such as the final vote for the assisted dying bill led by Kim Leadbeater, concerns arise regarding proposed changes removing full High Court oversight. While proponents believe the new JudgePlus model provides necessary expert involvement, detractors worry it compromises safeguards for vulnerable individuals. With ongoing dialogues about critical subjects, community-backed funding allows The Independent to ensure that its journalism remains accessible to all Americans, regardless of economic status.
Supporters argue that Ms Leadbeater's JudgePlus model will speed up decisions on assisted dying, providing specialist expertise while keeping a judicial anchor intact.
Critics, including Diane Abbott, contend that removing High Court oversight weakens safeguards, potentially endangering vulnerable populations in assisted dying cases.
