Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

American-born Chelsea Roff was diagnosed with anorexia and given a few months to live. Thankfully, she got the right help, information and medical support before medical aid in dying was legalised in her country. She now lives in London, where she leads the Eat Breathe Thrive Foundation for Eating Disorders, which supports and advocates for people in this situation. She tells me that she is deeply concerned for her community, knowing that she and others like her could have ended their lives were it legal to do so.
