Following last week's State Opening of Parliament, Lord Falconer introduced a bill that would legalise assisted suicide. It is the latest in a number of attempts to change the law. The bill will be debated in the House of Lords at its second reading, which is expected to take place on Friday 18th July. Baroness Hollins, a top psychiatrist who has been President of both the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the British Medical Association, has spoken out and written of her concerns. Baroness Grey-Thompson, who won 11 golds at the Paralympics, has joined with Baroness Campbell of Surbiton, who has a degenerative illness, to express her deep opposition to Lord Falconer's bill. ‘Why is it that when people who are not disabled want to commit suicide, we try to talk them out of it, but when a disabled person wants to commit suicide, we focus on how we can make that possible?’
