Theresa May concerned over lack of safeguards in Assisted Dying Bill | News

Theresa May said he believed that he did not have on -site assurance to prevent people from being pressure to end their lives.

Speaking at the House of Lords on Friday, September 12, Baroness May said that the legislation, which was first discussed for the first time in the second room, may cause people to end their lives.

The former Prime Minister said he was concerned about the impact of the bill on people with disabilities, and was worried that “assisted death strengthens a dangerous idea that some lives are worth living less than others”.

Authorized, for less than six months to live a terminal diagnosis for adults in the British and Wales, the legislation that will provide assisted death can be used to “cover the mistakes made” in medical care, he said.
