Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Another condition we need to be thinking about is people who have had strokes. My husband had a stroke at the back end of 2020. In Belgium, 3.2% of people request assisted suicide because they have had a stroke. That is not something that the general public probably think would be a motivation behind having it. Who can forget Luc Van Gorp, reported in the Times on 9 January last year, arguing that it was important to expand the euthanasia laws
