My article in The Guardian as MPs in Westminster prepare for the final decisive votes this Friday on one of the most consequential laws of our generation theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“urgent concerns raised by our organisations & members regarding the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, particularly its implications for individuals with Down syndrome and learning disabilities.” Nikki da Costa Damian Hinds Tanni Grey-Thompson Liz "blue tick" Carr independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…
I follow evidence. Royal Colleges RC of Pathologists, @RCPsych & Royal College of Physicians and APM (Palliative Care), British Geriatrics Society (Geriatricians), Government Suicide adviser louis appleby & many more believe the #AssistedDyingBill is unsafe, should we not heed their expertise? #NotThisBill
🗣️"It is because of my concern for vulnerable and marginalised persons, vulnerable and marginalised communities, that I implore the house to reject this bill." Diane Abbott #NotThisBill #assistedsuicide #AssistedDyingBill
