Debate: Should Assisted Dying Be Legalised in the UK?

Join us for an engaging debate on whether assisted dying should be legalised in the UK and whether the proposed Assisted Dying Bill should pass despite ongoing safety and ethical concerns. The discussion will explore whether individuals should have the right to choose when and how they die, or whether legalisation risks endangering vulnerable people. We’ll consider the moral, legal, and human rights dimensions of assisted dying, comparing international approaches and examining how the UK should balance compassion, autonomy, and protection.
