Liz Kendall Advocates for Assisted Dying Bill Amid Criticism
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall defended the assisted dying bill, emphasizing the ‘right to choose’ for terminally ill patients. While she faces opposition from ministers like Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who fears a ‘slippery slope’ to euthanasia, public support for the bill remains high. The debate on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is set for Friday, with MPs allowed to vote based on personal beliefs rather than party lines. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged for more discussion on the matter, highlighting the complexity surrounding assisted dying.
