More than 1,000 doctors have written to MPs to demand they vote against 'unsafe' assisted dying laws.
In an open letter, doctors from across the NHS warned the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill poses a 'real threat to both patients and the medical workforce'.
The Bill aims to allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales - with less than six months to live - to legally end their lives.
But, while the doctors said it was 'entirely appropriate to have a national debate on how to address the issue of end-of-live care', they added the Bill 'is not the answer'.
They said the 'deeply flawed' legislation, which is being spearheaded by Labour MP Kim Leadbeater, is 'simply not safe'.
