Ahead of the first stage of voting on a bill to legalise assisted dying in the UK, AFP speaks to both sides of the debate. Palliative care consultant Amy Proffitt opposes the "practicalities" of the bill, saying that she "as a doctor, cannot determine coercion -- I have no legal training whatsoever." Anil Douglas, on the other hand, whose father secretly took his own life, believes that "if the bill had been in place when my father died, he could have had a much safer, kinder, more compassionate death".
