(This bill how it is anyhow.)
I think Danny Kruger MP made the best contribution to the debate.

Yes that was really powerful from Kruger.
The thing is we know that humans are incredibly fallible. There's been so many scandals caused by a combination of human error, incompetence, neglect and malice. Knowing that, why should be trust them with dictating when someone should die? There's so many things we can't properly guard against: coercion, false diagnosis, corruption, changes of heart, an expansion of the measure etc.
It's really fascinating to see the split of parliamentarians in this.
Against the bill: Farage, Corbyn, Diane Abbott, David Lammy, Kemi Badenoch, Ed Davey and many others
For it: Starmer, Sunak, Reeves, Jeremy Hunt, the majority of Reform MPs and many others
If parliament is that divided on this issue across parliamentary lines then how can a governing party implement it in good faith
