Safest bill in the world? “The bill in its current form has concerning deficiencies. Notably, the proposed mechanisms of decision making are not in line with good clinical and professional practice.”

Hospices have no legal protection in Kim’s bill if they refuse to offer assisted dying. To compel them government can withhold the already insufficient public funding they get. Joint bill sponsor Kit Malthouse believes this is a good thing. Do other MPs?

The Assisted Dying Bill returns to Parliament today for its final vote at Report Stage. I’ve raised serious concerns about the lack of safeguards. It should never be easier to die than to live with support. I will be voting against the Bill.

This assisted dying bill has rapidly lost the confidence of MPs and the strong momentum against it is now clear. It had a Commons majority of 56 last November. That was cut to 36 last month on a key amendment. Today we saw a further cut of the majority to 21 and 26 on

Today in Parliament I spoke against the #AssistedDyingBill. This is a deeply flawed Bill, and the truth is that in seeking to give choice to some, it risks causing new harm to a much larger, vulnerable group of our citizens.

I believe there are valid reasons to support the principle of assisted dying. I might choose it myself. But the vote on Friday is not about the principle, it’s about the workability - and safety - of the Terminally Ill Adults Bill. Let’s recap on what experts are saying… 🧵

We won’t even get to see the final Assisted Dying Bill before we’re asked to vote for it. That’s why I’ve signed this letter with 50 other MPs asking for more time. 1/2

Powerful words from Gordon Brown. MPs have personal beliefs, but also solemn duties: that’s why they must reject the assisted dying bill this week | Gordon Brown | theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Six of the most misleading statements in this article: 1. KL says the bill “goes further than any in the world to ensure decisions are…free from pressure.” Not true. South Australia bars doctors from raising assisted suicide unprompted. Leadbeater has rejected that safeguard.

🧵As a GP with a palliative care interest, I am deeply concerned by the #assisteddyingbill. It not only threatens my vulnerable patients, it is built upon fundamental misconception.10 examples below: 🧵 Sarah Coombes for West Bromwich Sonia Kumar MP for Dudley 🌹 Alex Ballinger MP Care Not Killing Dan Hitchens 👇👇

MPs voting on Friday need to watch this. This gets to the heart of the first vote on NC16 - this Bill doesn't care why someone wants to end their life - and the complete exclusion of family from the process (MPs have signed that off already) credit: No Way Back
