A former minister with terminal cancer is urging politicians to halt a bill about assisted dying. Labour MP Ashley Dalton, 53, resigned in March to focus on her metastatic breast cancer treatment and now opposes the bill. She stated that rejected changes could have improved the bill, but it became a "pretty dangerous set of affairs."
