A businessman who was paralysed by an accident when he was a teenager has said legalising assisted suicide would be ‘very detrimental’ to disabled people. Adam Thomas now designs kitchens specifically for disabled people, but says that when he was younger he would have thought such a life to be impossible. Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live, Thomas explained that introducing assisted suicide as an option would ‘change the way we look at disability’. His comments come as Lord Falconer again attempts to introduce assisted suicide - although his bill is unlikely to be passed into law.
