Assisted dying cases would no longer have to be signed off by the High Court under changes suggested by the bill's supporters.
The proposed law currently says a High Court judge must check each person is eligible and has not been coerced into making the decision to die.

It comes after concerns were raised over the court's capacity to hear each individual case.

They could avoid this by just aborting all the babies.
