Today’s vote is very important. It is now highly likely that assisted dyeing will be introduced in England and Wales.

Votes by MPs to approve the Kim Leadbuter bill, of course, have been the biggest vote about physical autonomy since the modernization of abortion in Great Britain in 1967.

Today, in the Baking Heat of the Parliament Square, London, hundreds of campaigners chanting their views – for both and against the aided dying – between the colored banners and the sea of ​​placard.

There was also emotion. Some people took pictures of the loved ones who died in pain, while others expressed their fear to the weak people in the society.

The debate around assisted dyeing has become a polarized – and there are still hurdles race before a reality.

MPs assisted the bill dying by a majority of 23

How did my MP vote on assisted dyeing?

what happens next?

The terminali Il (end of life) will now go to Lord’s, where there is a possibility of spending several months under the same line-by-line investigation which was done before MPs.

At the end of this year, perhaps around October, the bill will return to the commons for any change and then it can be sent for royal consent.

So when can the help of dying in England and Wales be available?

The government has said that it may take up to four years to establish a aided dying service, meaning that it can be 2029 or 2030, before the first medical assessed death may occur.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnok stated that this delay was required to ensure “strong and effective implementation” to “fully” to ensure “strong safety measures and safety” with new service, which would require “carefully developed and tested”.

Under proposals, in England and Wales, mentally competent, life expectancy with terminal sick adults will be eligible for a supportive death of less than six months.

They will need to make two separate announcements, signed and witnesses, about their desire to die about “clear, settled and informed”, and satisfy the two independent doctors that they are eligible, and are not overwhelmed.

There will be a difference of at least seven days between each evaluation.

The application would then run before a multi -verse panel which included a psychiatrist, social worker and a lawyer.

The panel hears at least one doctors and the applicant, possibly through live videos.

If the panel approves the application, there will be another 14-day “period of reflection”, which can be harvested for 48 hours if the patient is likely to die within a month.

Training for doctors

If the law is passed, the Health Secretary Wes Streeting, who voted against the bill, will need to establish an assistant dying service under NHS.

This means to solve training for doctors that will assess patients for capacity and create safety measures for forced or any signal of pressure, as well as people with learning disabilities.

When MPs first voted on the issue in November, the schemes consisted of a High Court judges who would need to approve each case.

The proposal has now been dropped and replaced with the panel.

The new service will be maintained by a voluntary -aided dead commissioner, who will be either a serving or retired senior judge.

Their role will include appointing members of review panels, mentioning their matters and monitoring the operation of the law.

Everyone’s polarized debate on assisted dyeing is a scene

Although the proposed law is based on law in 10 American states and Australia, there are significant differences.

In California, patients are able to store deadly drugs at home and do not require a medical professional current when they die.

Under the Leadbatter Bill, a doctor will prepare the medicine, and when the patient self-administration, he will be present.

This means that it would usually mean swallowing malignant substance, although if it is not possible, the bill allows to be used for a “medical device” that is used to enable the patient to swallow it.

What a doctor can do, there will be strict limitations on it. Mr. Kinnok said that it would be legal for him to help a patient to sit and make them comfortable, but not to tip a cup tablets in their mouths.

Health Secretaries will regulate whether drugs can be used. In all possibilities, they will come in a powder form and need to be mixed with liquid to swallow.

Somewhere else in the world

I was present on an auxiliary death in California and the doctor was seen to add fruit juice to the medicine to make the patient more tasty and less bitter to swallow.

On that occasion, the patient, Wayne Hawkins, was unconscious within a few minutes of swallowing the drug and died in about 35 minutes.

Deaths usually occur within an hour, although it takes several days.

In some other countries that have received assistance are allowed euthanasia, usually by injections by a doctor or nurse, usually by injections.

The euthanasia is allowed in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, but even here too for most supporters of the aided dying, it is seen as a step away.

An impact assessment estimated by civil servants estimates that the 10th year may occur between 1,042 and 4,559 assistance deaths in the 10th year after the law is implemented.

This upper estimate will represent about 1% of all deaths in England and Wales.

In the coming months, whatever happens for the leadbatter bill, the assisted dyeing is coming to the British Islands.

The Isle of Man has already approved an assisted dyeing bill and jersey is also committed to changing the law.

To legalize assisted dyeing in Scotland, a bill has passed an initial vote in Holirod, but is facing further obstacles. The Scottish bill does not have a life expectancy for eligibility and refers to advanced and progressive disease instead that is expected to cause premature deaths.

Many critics prefer to call it as aided dying, or assisting suicide, most of the world remains illegal in the world.

Modern medicine means that healthcare systems can keep people alive for longer than ever, but often with limited quality of life.

Supporters say assisted dyeing gives autonomy and control to patients. This is a cool and dangerous step for opponents that put the unsafe at risk of force.

Whatever happens for the bill in Westminster, this hot and polarization debate will continue.
