They Shoot Horses, don't they?

Similar situations occur with the Wills of those who have dementia. The Lawyer can simply say, Mr X seemed lucid when I read his changes back to him.

It seems this Bill might fail. A lot of MPs seem against it, but wont say why.

Might be due to the likelihood of mission creep as more conditions get added over time.

Wills - can be a pain in the neck and no real need if some one has descendants unless they want to depart from the usual rule(s).

other than Mrs AJohn could get screwed by Ajohn Jnr depending on the value of your assets. or your kids could get screwed because mrs aJohn gets married again.

it takes 30 minutes and you don't even need a lawyer.
 
Gordon Brown against the bill as is the justice secretary. Kieth says he is neutral: how can you be PM and neutral on a moral issue? Several supporters of the legislation have remarked on the inconvenience of having to travel abroad at present. FFS you are going there to kill yourself, inconvenience is the least of your worries.

When the Bell rings the Division will be marked between both sides of the debate: One new mp is quoted in the Guardian, saying -
“I’m genuinely the most back and forth on this that I’ve been on anything, I had a conversation during the election campaign with a woman whose husband was on a [syringe] driver for 12 days,” the MP said. “I can honestly say that conversation really changed my mind and put me in the pro camp. But the challenge for the people who are pro is whether they can convince everybody that this bill is narrow enough. I don’t know what they could do prior to Friday to get that over.”

John McDonnell has seen it all before but after many years of listening to the arguments he's decided in favour of the Bill and...As it is a free vote, there are figures from the political left and right on both sides. Former Tory cabinet ministers Kit Malthouse and David Davis are among the leading advocates for a change in the law. It is also an issue that has divided politicians who have almost always agreed. McDonnell will be voting in the opposite division lobby to some of his oldest political fellow travellers on the left, including Diane Abbott. Jeremy Corbyn has also previously indicated he will oppose assisted dying.

Could go either way.
 
Surprised the toreys haven't taken the opportunity to make political capital on this. Its a classic marmite issue. Making issues black and white is the way the right have gained political ground since brexhit.
