Biography
Baroness Hunter of Auchenreoch has engaged on assisted dying through two debate speeches on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, speaking at both Second Reading and Committee stages to support the legislation. She has argued that assisted dying is already a reality for those with means to travel abroad, and questioned whether a regulated domestic framework would be preferable to this two-tier system. She drew on personal testimony to illustrate the impact of end-of-life issues on families.
