The House of Lords Select Committee on Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) heard evidence on the safeguards in the Assisted Dying Bill. The bill was subject to more than 1,000 amendments from members. If approved, the new legal framework would primarily affect terminally ill people. However, the committee did not invite any evidence from terminally ill people. Omitting the patient's voice goes against the essence of the bill, which seeks to ensure the autonomy of dying patients. The British Attitudes Survey from 1995 shows that almost 80% of people think that assisted dying should definitely or probably be allowed for terminally ill people. Legalization of assisted dying lags behind public opinion.
