The archbishop of Canterbury cautioned that legalizing assisted dying is a dangerous precedent that might transform the right to die into a societal duty.
Welby expressed concern that even the best intentions could lead to unintended consequences, suggesting that the desire to help might inadvertently cause more suffering.
Labour MP Kim Leadbeater defended the proposed bill by emphasizing its specific focus on terminally ill patients and refuting Welby’s claims about the law being broadened elsewhere.
Leadbeater stated that changes to assisted dying legislation, if carefully managed, could represent one of the most significant legal adjustments in the UK.
