Assisted Dying for the Terminally Ill Bill [HL]

My Lords, I am afraid that I am going to persist for another 30 seconds because this is a Second Reading debate. The Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Joffe, offers a dignified and humanitarian choice for such people. Throughout his career, the noble Lord has been a very considerable advocate and a very great pioneer of the principle of human rights and, indeed, individual freedom. I very much hope that Parliament—and, indeed, perhaps, the Government—will swiftly follow him.
