Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
The normal Lord, Lord Deben, says that we should try to relieve the loneliness of that person. That is his answer. Of course we should, but what is being described is the state of somebody who has got there because of the previous parts of their life. How we react to a terminal illness will be so dependent on what we are like ourselves. For me, I put forward the Bill because you should have that choice.
