Medic MPs call for support of assisted dying bill in England and Wales

A group of seven MPs with NHS experience is urging support for a bill to legalize assisted dying for terminally ill adults in England and Wales. They argue the current law does not serve patients' best interests. The proposed legislation, led by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, would allow terminally ill adults with six months or less to live to seek medical assistance to end their lives. The bill is set for debate on November 29. Parliament is divided on the issue, with some MPs expressing concerns about potential coercion. The Prime Minister's government will remain neutral, while other party leaders have indicated their positions on the bill.
