Forcing these Doctors to work against their conscience is also unthinkable.

Devo Max resistance to the bill
Skewed Polls have been a common feature of the debate
The question contains the phrase "with robust safeguards" which evidence from where it is legal indicates do not last. In every jurisdiction where it has been in place for some years, the criteria for #assistedsuicide and #euthanasia has widened.
