British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has stated that he is 'not against' legalizing euthanasia. This stance has sparked a debate, with critics arguing that legal safeguards are insufficient to protect vulnerable individuals. Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour Party, also supports the consideration of legalizing euthanasia. Opponents, such as Kevin Yuill and RightToLifeUK, argue that legalizing euthanasia could lead to death being offered as a treatment for those deemed to be living 'inconvenient' lives, including the mentally unwell and physically disabled. The debate also encompasses concerns about assisted suicide.
