Peers trying to block assisted dying, claims MP behind bill

Labour MP Kim Leadbeater is facing pushback from some House of Lords members attempting to block the bill legalizing assisted dying in England and Wales. With over 1,000 proposed changes, the legislation is at a critical juncture, needing approval from both Houses of Parliament before becoming law. Critics argue for significant redrafting to ensure the protection of vulnerable individuals, while Leadbeater emphasizes the need to respect democracy and update laws around assisted dying.
