MP Wes Streeting Shares Inner Conflict on Assisted Dying Law Vote

Personal Reflections

Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has opened up about his inner conflict when deciding whether to support the law on assisted dying.

Concerns and Considerations

Streeting expressed worries about the possibility of a right to die feeling like a "duty to die" if the law is altered. He highlighted concerns about the quality of palliative and end-of-life care in the UK, as well as the potential risks of coercion and a slippery slope.

Upcoming Debate

Proposals to legalize assisted dying will be discussed and voted on in the following month. If approved, the law could see changes as early as next year.
