Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

These three cases just show how difficult it is trying to pin down a six-month diagnosis, but also the danger of misdiagnosis for somebody making a decision. Mr Sefton-Williams was told that he might live five years or he might live two to six months. If this Bill were to pass, all he would have to do is find a doctor who accepts the six months and he would be pushed towards ending his life.
