House of Lords to consider assisted suicide Bill
3 days ago
A Bill seeking to legalise assisted suicide in England and Wales is being proposed by a Member of the House of Lords.
Baroness Meacher’s Private Members’ Bill – which has not yet been scheduled for debate – would permit those expected to have six months left to live to get help to kill themselves. Their request would need approval from two doctors and a High Court judge.
In 2015, a Bill to remove current safeguards was soundly defeated in the House of Commons by 330 votes to 118. The Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill was also rejected by 82 votes to 36 in the Scottish Parliament during the same year.
