Assisted Dying Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Falconer of Thoroton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 16 January 2015. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bills on Assisted Dying Bill [HL].

The Oregon experience is that that does not happen, but the safeguards—two doctors, and the High Court judge approving it—are in my view sufficient to prevent the sort of abuse to which the noble Baroness refers.
