Tension is rising in Parliament as MPs prepare to vote on the controversial assisted dying bill, amidst significant public and professional opposition. A recent poll indicates that the public is largely against the legislation, with medical professionals expressing concerns over potential loopholes, including issues related to vulnerable populations. Campaigners and healthcare workers are voicing their opposition outside Parliament, while some MPs, including over 50 Labour representatives, are calling for a delay in the vote. Safeguards for children have been added to the bill, but critics warn these measures may not be sufficient. As the debate continues, fears grow that the legislation could exacerbate existing inequalities in healthcare. The outcome of the vote remains uncertain, amid calls from various stakeholders to improve end-of-life care instead.
