A retired neurosurgeon with advanced prostate cancer has backed calls from a cross-party group of more than 50 MPs and Peers for the Government to instigate a review of the UK’s assisted dying laws.
Dr Henry Marsh, who is also an author, said he believed that if people in his situation were able to “choose how, when, and where they would die” this would “greatly reduce their suffering”.
His comments come alongside a joint letter from parliamentarians to Justice Secretary Robert Buckland which argued the UK was “falling behind the rest of the world”.
The letter, coordinated by Humanists UK and campaign group My Death, My Decision, claimed that “our laws on assisted dying are letting down our citizens”.
