A fantastic debate. Thank you to everyone who helped oppose the Bill. Concerns about assisted dying on the parliamentary record & clear steer from Govt not to support the Bill. Well done @DyingWellAppg @RightToLifeUK @CNKAlliance & many many others.
The Assisted Dying Bill has completed Second Reading and, as is convention, without any vote. It will move into Committee at a future, as yet unspecified, date. Eight hours of debate, 130+ speakers. Many for, many against. Much to chew over. Respectful & sincere, as it should be.
Lord Brennan QC writes for http://politics.co.uk stating that "the dangers of such a new law are several and very serious". https://www.politics.co.uk/comment/2021/10/22/assisted-dying-is-not-just-an-issue-of-autonomy/
"So what is the call to us who live at a time when visceral divisions and polemics literally constitute a danger to human life?"
