Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

To conclude, I hope I have set out enough evidence to show that these amendments are more than terminological and more than debating points. They are not put forward to antagonise. They are not put forward to annoy. They are put forward to deal with genuine concerns about the clarity of this legislation and what it will do if it comes into force, and about the way in which euphemism can have a genuine substantive effect on the way the Bill is perceived and eventually used.
