If these amendments are adopted, what families will see is that, while they are left in their anxiety, those who opt for assisted dying will be given a Rolls-Royce service. They will be given a personal navigator. They will be expedited through the process and have their hand held at every stage—something that the NHS simply cannot afford to do in the case of people who are suffering from cancer and want to live. I think there will be a profound sense of injustice, and indeed revulsion, if these amendments are carried and such a service is established. What is being proposed is simply unreal. It cannot advance.
