Myself & many, are hoping for another clear decision stating โ€œwe canโ€™t in good conscienceโ€speech soon @clairehanna.bsky.social & Colum Eastwood, whether you agree in principle, or not, due to the shambolic passage process of the Assisted (Suicide) Dying Billโ€ myths & already evident slippery slope
