The Assisted Dying Bill returns to Parliament tomorrow – which proposes allowing an assisted death for those with a terminal illness with less than six months to live. After months of scrutiny by a cross-party committee, MPs will debate and vote on amendments, with a final vote on the bill expected next month. But its future is uncertain – just 28 MPs who supported the bill in the first vote need to change her minds in the final vote for it to be defeated.
Beyond the politiking of Westminster, though, is the very real impact on peoples’ lives.
