Sadiq Khan opposes Assisted Dying Bill ahead of parliamentary debate

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced his opposition to the Assisted Dying Bill, which would permit medically assisted deaths for some terminally ill individuals. He expressed concerns about coercive control and the emotional burden on patients. Khan joins several prominent figures, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, in opposing the bill. The legislation is set for debate in Parliament, where MPs will have a free vote on the matter. Current UK laws prohibit assisted dying. The proposed bill requires approval from two independent doctors and a judge before allowing a patient to self-administer medication.
