The Association for Palliative Medicine has produced a Myth Buster on assisted dying and the Terminally Ill Adults bill.

The debate must be based on evidence, not soundbites and spin.

It’s an essential tool for Peers, journalists and other commentators.

It still concerns me that the only direct consultation with marginalised groups on the #AssistedDyingBill has been the tiny bits I’ve done

I summarise the key findings here

MPs must not take the silencing of these groups as reassurance

#AssistedDying

Tom Lawton @lawtontri.bsky.social · Jun 13

A colleague has written this, which I think nicely sums up some of the reasons I have mixed feelings about the #AssistedDying bill.

No simple right answers here; just tradeoffs - but hopefully we can recognise and help those who are at risk.

I consulted marginalised groups on the assisted dying bill – there is fear

The Terminally Ill Adults Bill offers a choice to a small but important group of people who want the option of assisted dying.
