The father of a baby girl who was allowed to die on the basis of the courts judging it being in her "best interest" has said that the purportedly strict safeguards in Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill are “meaningless”.
The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill proposed by the MP to legalise assisted suicide has finally been published with just over two weeks to go until it is debated in the UK Parliament on 29 November. The Bill aims to introduce a number of "protections and safeguards" in order to protect people from the obvious risk of being coerced into choosing assisted suicide, including that all requests should be referred to a judge for approval.
