The upcoming third reading of the assisted dying bill is pivotal, according to its lead proponent, MP Kim Leadbeater. She emphasizes that failure to pass the legislation will effectively end discussion on assisted dying, causing hardship for many terminally ill patients. The bill has undergone significant amendments, including the removal of high court oversight. Leadbeater has even pushed the implementation date to 2029 to garner support. Public sentiment appears to be shifting, as noted by supporter Sir Max Hill, highlighting the importance of the vote scheduled for April 25.
If the bill doesn't pass, the conversation ends, and that would be really dreadful for so many people, for so many reasons, she said.
The dial has turned in terms of public opinion as he warned MPs against seeking a further delay.
