| Alliance Of Liberals And Democrats | 10 | Yes | We support this movement |
| Centrist Zone | 22 | Yes | We support this proposal. |
| Democratic Group | 14 | No | The Act throws up a myriad of ethical dilemmas. What constitutes chronic suffering? How easily can this be exploited by bad actors? In any case, we have only just changed the law on assisted dying, and to reverse it when it raises such troubling questions so quickly would be a difficult decision to make at this moment. We'll remain prepared to negotiate on any amendments. |
