Naz Shah MP (Naz Shah MP): "We have to use the word 'suicide' because we are amending the Suicide Act." Of course, she is absolutely correct. The Bill proposes to provide state assistance in suicide for those who are thought to be within 6 months of the end of their life, so assisted dying’ is simply a euphemism for ‘assisted suicide’.

Lord Ahmad (The Lord (Tariq)Ahmad of Wimbledon KCMG) argues that it would be "unprecedented" to use the Parliament Acts to force through the assisted suicide Bill, which is not a Government Bill. Supporters of the Bill are being reckless with vulnerable people's lives.

In the Assisted Dying Bill, GPs feature in multiple clauses (corruption of doctor/patient relationship IMO). But during Friday's debate, we asked how realistic is it to assume there can be continuous and ongoing relationships with doctors? I reminded Lords of the reality of the NHS for many of us, who never see same doctor twice. Is there a danger of GPs nodding through eligibility to assisted death, based on little knowledge of patient's medical history/state of mind/family circumstances?

"It was a classic filibuster." Lord Charlie Falconer, who led the assisted dying bill through the House of Lords, said the failure of the bill is "terrible." Those who opposed the bill were concerned it included too few safeguards.

No jubilation or victory rhetoric, just quiet relief as the Assisted Dying Bill is rejected by Parliament. We could not afford to pass a Bill that the most vulnerable told us they feared would open the door to coercion - regardless of how subtle it may be - to end their lives.

There was an India before this Bill. The India that comes after this Bill strikes at the very fabric of our Constitution and the intent of its makers. Today, the government is asking us to hand over a blank cheque. This Bill contains no clear mention of limits such as a 50% increase, no clarity on the basis of delimitation, and no transparent safeguards to prevent arbitrary action. It leaves open the possibility of an unfair, unjust delimitation process and places enormous power in the hands of a committee that will be appointed by the executive itself. How can this be called fair in a functioning democracy? How are we expected to trust a government that, over the past 12 years, has repeatedly pushed through draconian laws without meaningful consultation or consensus in Parliament? Laws that reshape institutions, alter balances of power, and weaken the spirit of federalism! As Chief Minister Thiru M.K.Stalin has rightly said, this is a fight we are prepared to take to the streets and to the people of Tamil Nadu. Because when faith in the parliamentary process is eroded, the responsibility to defend constitutional values must return to the people themselves. #Delimitation #TNWillFightTNWillWin

It is indeed heartwarming to see the dedication of the men and women of Plateau State in reaffirming their faith and commitment in our Great Country, Nigeria. I continue to urge us to have faith in our country. Where there is a will, there is a way and together we can join hands to rebuild this nation.
