It is also our view that the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill 2024-25, now before Parliament, requires far more scrutiny and time for deliberation than will be afforded by a Private Member’s Bill, as is the case in this instance. In the interests of reaching a rational and reasoned decision on the matter, we believe it is imperative that time is set aside to discuss and reflect upon the economic, political and cultural contexts in which assisted dying legislation would be exercised.
