People risk prison over assisted suicide because MPs keep ducking the issue, says Lord Falconer
‘People are risking prison by helping their loved ones die because MPs and peers keep ducking the issue, according to a peer campaigning to change the law.
Lord Falconer’s Assisted Dying Bill – which is debated in the Lords this week – will make it legal for adults in England and Wales to be given assistance ending their own life, if it is passed by Parliament .
It would apply to those with less than six months to live and any agreement must come from two doctors.’
