Lord Moore of Etchingham (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I 100% support the motive behind the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Berger, and what the noble Baroness, Lady Cass, and others have just said, but my question is this: will it make any difference? If you want an assisted death, would you not be able to get it simply by saying that it is related to your terminal illness? You have your terminal illness and you have the prognosis, and you will therefore be advised by anybody who wants to assist you in your death that that is what you must say. How is this therefore a protection for the problem that we are discussing?
