Labour peer Lord Falconer has announced that he will present a bill before Parliament next week to legalise assisted suicide for terminally ill patients in England and Wales.
Under the terms of the bill, doctors would be permitted to prescribe drugs to help “mentally competent” adults to end their lives if they are judged to have less than six months to live.
A Private Members Bill on the issue is to be tabled by Lord Falconer in the House of Lords next Wednesday (15 May).
