A good explanation of the legislative process and the issues being considered around assisted dying during the Committee stage. ⬇️
It's been a couple of days since we finished up our first week of the Assisted Dying Bill Committee, where we heard from 50 witnesses supportive and opposed to the Bill. I wanted to share what we have been doing and how it works 👇

Key point here - those safety measures and scrutiny come *before* someone dies. That's why legislating for assisted dying is inherently safer than the blanket ban we have now.
"If we get this right, for the first time the law will provide protection to the vulnerable before they die." Sir Max Hill KC, Former Director of Public Prosecutions, tells #R4Today he thinks 'there is more than one way' of looking at safeguards for the Assisted Dying Bill.
