Only hours before the vote, four Labor Party deputies Markus Campbell-Gevreliler, Kanishka Naradan, Paul Foster and Jonathan Hinder announced that they changed their votes.
MPs wrote more than 60 disabled organizations, emphasizing the concerns about the potential impact of the legislation on learning impaired.
The Down Syndrome Research Foundation referred to the survey that found great fears of how learning impaired people could express informed consent when applying for assisted suicide.
According to the survey, three -quarters of the public increased concerns about the possibility of consenting people with disabilities. He also found that approximately seven of the 10 people were afraid of learning impaired people may be particularly vulnerable to the risk of converting to a challenging suicide or manipulation if the bill is passed.
“We encourage the parliament to take the urgent concerns that arise seriously by our organizations and members, especially the Fatal Patient Adults (End of Life) invoice, especially for learning impaired individuals,” said the National Down Down Syndrome Policy Group, which sent the letter to the MPs.
Kim Leadbeater, to support the helping bill to the deputies came to his own last -minute appeal, on Friday rejected, deadly patient adults may encounter ten years without discussion again, he said.
In an emotional objection before the Commons on Friday voted for the bill, the worker deputy asked how many people would suffer to die if the deputies rejected their plans.
“If we don’t pass this law tomorrow, it may be ten years to bring this number back to parliament,” he said.
Ms. Leadbeater, who is besieged by a group of deputies from the party lines, as well as a group of dying campaignists, added: “10 years have passed since our last vote.
“And then, how many stories like Katie, Pamela, Anil and Sophie will hear.”
The four campaignists suffered around the stories of their own experiences about fatal diseases, or the deaths of their loved ones who could benefit from dying.
Sophie Blake, one of the campaignists at a press conference, Sophie Blake, who has been living with secondary breast cancer for three years, said, orum I’m not afraid that my life is shortened and death. But I’m afraid of how to die. ”
He is allergic to most opioids and said: ü The idea of not being able to control my pain and pain is hanging on me ”.
Orum I want my daughter and my family to be happy and wonderful times, I want not to be traumatized by seeing me in pain, ”he added.
The dying vote, supported by the knife, expectations can be decided by only 10 to 15 votes. At the last minute, Crunch called for a delay in the final vote, 52 Labor Party Backcher Sir Keir Starmer’dan to enter and give the deputies more time to examine the bill.
However, the Prime Minister rejected the call, saying that there is a lot of time to discuss it both in parliament and beyond parliament.
When asked whether the bill will pass, Mrs. Leadbeater said he expected the deputies to support them easily.
He said: “In the second reading, 55 had a large majority, there may be a small movement, some people can change their minds somehow, others can change their minds in another way.
“But basically, I do not foresee that the majority will be intensely wear. I am sure that we can successfully pass tomorrow.”
After the last -minute letter of 52 deputies, he came after the last minute letter: “This is not a normal invoice. He changes the foundations of our NHS, the relationship between the doctor and the patient and intensifies the future of future health secretaries by removing the power from Parliament.
“MPs will come to Westminster on Friday morning without seeing the latest version of the invoice of fatal patient adults (end of life).”
As expected, if the draft exceeds the final stage on Friday, their peers will go to the lords they warn that they are planning to examine the legislation.
