Assisted Dying Bill Sparks Emotional Debate on Choice and Ethics

The UK Parliament is debating a proposed law to legalize assisted dying for terminally-ill patients expected to die within six months, provided their decision is approved by doctors. The bill has sparked a divisive debate, with supporters like Elise Burns, who suffers from terminal cancer, advocating for the right to avoid a painful death, while opponents like Nik Ward, who has motor neurone disease, express concerns about potential coercion and the loss of life's remaining joys. The bill includes safeguards requiring approval from two doctors and a judge, but critics question their effectiveness.
