Others have voiced their concerns with assisted dying, including the Archbishop of CanterburyHe suggested it would lead to a "slippery slope" where more people would feel compelled to have their life ended medically.
Archbishop Justin Welby told the BBC he believed legalising assisted dying "opens the way to it broadening out, such that people who are not in that situation [terminally ill] asking for this, or feeling pressured to ask for it".Kim Leadbeater, the Labour MP who introduced the assisted dying bill to Parliament, said the bill was only about terminally ill people, not people with disabilities or mental health conditions, and there would be clear criteria set for access, as well as medical and judicial safeguards.Charity Right to Life also said it thought
was a "disaster in waiting".A charity spokesperson said making assisted suicide legal posed an "acute threat to vulnerable people, especially in the context of a struggling healthcare system".
"The UK needs properly funded high-quality palliative care for those at the end of their life, not assisted suicide," they added.
