If anything, the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is even worse than we had feared, and that is saying something.
Any MP with any doubt about the specific terms of this specific piece of legislation, which is not a debating society motion on the principle, should vote against it. Not abstain. Vote against.
As should any MP who objected, as they all should, to having been presented with a Bill of this magnitude a mere two and a half weeks before a mere five-hour debate on Second Reading.
But should this Bill ever reach the House of Lords, if Justin Welby were no longer there, as he very well may not be, then nor should be George Carey of the Peter Ball affair, or else only the opposition to assisted suicide would have been deprived of a vote.
Could we win?
