Earlier this week, Labour peer Lord Falconer said he would reintroduce a Bill at Westminster attempting to allow assisted suicide for patients in England and Wales who are deemed to have less than six months to live. But in a ballot on Wednesday 27 May determining the order in which private members’ bills are to be introduced in the House of Lords, Lord Falconer's bill came 21st, meaning that it's unlikely that it will be brought before Parliament. Earlier this year politicians on the Isle of Man voted strongly against a private member's bill calling for the legalisation of assisted suicide. The World Medical Association re-asserted its opposition to assisted suicide in 2013. A 2006 survey by the Royal College of Physicians found that over 70% agreed no change in legislation is needed.
