Assisted dying bill is a ‘licence to kill’, Theresa May says

Theresa May, the former UK Prime Minister, has strongly criticized the assisted dying bill currently being debated in the House of Lords. She argues that the bill is a "licence to kill" that puts vulnerable people at risk, such as those with disabilities, chronic illnesses, or mental health conditions. May believes that the bill could create a perception that some lives are less valuable than others, and she has a friend who refers to it as the "licence to kill bill." The debate on this legislation for England and Wales is ongoing in the House of Lords.
