Legislation that would give terminally ill patients the right to die is to be debated by the House of Commons.
The Labour MP Rob Marris, who topped the ballot for private members’ bills, is to adopt draft regulations drawn up by Lord Falconer.
The bill proposed by the former lord chancellor and justice secretary ran out of time in the Lords during the last parliament.
The assisted dying bill would allow doctors to prescribe a lethal dose to terminally ill patients judged to have six months or less to live and who request it.
The bill put forward by Marris is expected to be debated on 11 September.
Not Dead Yet UK is totally opposed to any change in the law on Assisted Suicide and will mount a vigorous campaign to prevent a change in the current law.
Listen to Lord Falconer and Agnes Fletcher from Living and Dying Well discussing some of the issues.
