An MP who developed type 1 diabetes has spoken of her fears that the proposed assisted dying legislation is so vague her condition could be included as a valid reason to end someone’s life.
Sarah Bool, the new Tory MP for South Northamptonshire, laid an amendment to Kim Leadbeater’s controversial bill last week to highlight the issue, and is calling for a list of conditions that should or should not included. Ms Leadbeater though disputes the need for such a list arguing that diabetes is “not a terminal illness”.
