Today I had the pleasure of giving evidence to the Committee of the Unheard in response to the Leadbeater Bill.
The message from this Bill is abundantly clear: We do not care enough about the pain and suffering of ethnic minorities and other marginalised people when they want to live, but we will care compassionately when they want to die.
I also questioned why it is so many White people are driven to have an assisted suicide. 
This isn’t coincidence—it’s about access, who feels entitled to it, who’s offered it, and, importantly, who trusts the system enough to consider it.
Lack of engagement is not a safeguard. The sad reality is that some ethnic minorities will often die before a choice to die is even made possible, and in some cases, even before a diagnosis.
While some individuals have the privilege to choose their time to die, many ethnic minorities are denied even the fundamental choice of living.
