Leadbeater’s bill is likely to be similar to an assisted dying bill introduced in the House of Lords earlier this year that has only made slow progress. The bill introduced in the House of Lords restricts assisted dying to adults with six or fewer months to live and requires permission from the High Court after having a declaration signed by two doctors, among other criteria.
Opponents of assisted dying, however, say there is no way to change the law without endangering vulnerable people, according to actress Liz Carr, a disability rights campaigner.Naomi Richards, an anthropologist who specializes in death and dying at the University of Glasgow, said the number of people who might make use of assisted dying, if legalized in Britain, would be fairly limited, unless the public pushed for wider access.
