Assisted Dying Bill lacks safeguards, says DPAC
DISABLED rights campaigners will take action this morning against the government’s Assisted Dying Bill, which is being voted on by Parliament.

They believe that passing the law at a time of welfare cuts and benefit sanctions would leave disabled people even more vulnerable.
