Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 January 2026

Debate

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill

Contribution

Also, I ask noble Lords who support the Bill why they are so defensive because Dignitas actually offers physician-assisted suicide. In fact, the World Federation of Right to Die Societies talks about assisted suicide in terms of describing the distribution of drugs that will cause the death of a person. The term “assisted suicide” is used in Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands. That is what it is. That is what we should call it.
