@sophieRblake@thelizcarr@BBCOne@BBCiPlayer The term 'assisted dying' elides currently lawful forms of assistance at the end of life with medical killing. Any bill will involve disapplying the provisions of the Suicide Act, viz. assisted suicide.
I've joined more than 120 colleagues in signing this EDM to reject the EHRC Code of Practice.
