The national debate on assisted dying is both moving and frustrating.

The Government has failed to uphold vital neutrality in the debate.

Wes Streeting has acted like a mouthpiece for NHS bureaucracy voicing concerns.

Kim Leadbeater has imperilled the entire exercise by calling for MPs to step back’ so we can hear from those with personal experience.

Given that there are so few remaining libertarian MPs, the moral case for assisted dying is unlikely to get much of an airing.

What sets our species apart from others is its capacity to imagine alternative futures and make choices accordingly.

Yet, when it comes to liberty, the sanctity of human will is a particular blind spot.
