UK Minister Defends Assisted Dying Bill as a Matter of Choice
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has defended the assisted dying bill, emphasizing it as a matter of ‘right to choose’ for terminally ill individuals. Despite opposition from some colleagues, including Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, Kendall argues that the bill empowers individuals regarding their end-of-life decisions. The bill, aimed at allowing medically-assisted deaths for certain patients, is set for debate in Parliament this Friday.
