Assisted dying: MPs prepare to decide as assisted dying vote draws near

Ahead of this week’s momentous vote on legalising assisted dying for the terminally ill, Sky’s Liz Bates sits down with MPs to find out how they prepare and decide how to vote.

Liz Bates speaks Jeevun Sandher, an MP in support of assisted dying who talks movingly about his family experience.

She also hears from Harriett Baldwin, who is against such legislation, and undecided MP Peter Swallow, who has held a meeting with constituents to sound out their views as he makes his decision.

Anyone feeling emotionally distressed or suicidal can call Samaritans for help on 116 123 or email jo@samaritans.org in the UK. In the US, call the Samaritans branch in your area or 1 (800) 273-TALK
