Congrats UK #HouseOfLords for blocking #AssistedDying Bill. 👍

I strongly support the principle of right to die, but I oppose legalisation without strong protection against #coercion. #KimLeadbeater's botched bill was opposed by every disability group. It's a scandal that her liberal supporters allowed this disgrace to pass the #HouseOfCommons.

I am unpersuaded that any safeguards could ever be adequate. But a #PrivateMembersBill will always be under-prepared.
