What you need to know before MPs vote on Assisted Dying
Disability Rights UK
Disability Rights UK opposes the upcoming vote on legalizing assisted dying in England and Wales, arguing the legislation lacks essential safeguards against coercion and violates UN disability rights standards. Although the bill passed the House of Commons by a narrow margin last year, it previously failed in the House of Lords due to concerns over insufficient protections for disabled people. Campaigners are urging MPs to vote against the bill, which has been re-introduced with plans to bypass the House of Lords using the Parliament Act.
