Verbatim
“The passing of this legislation marks a watershed on the Island ...”
“The true measure of a compassionate society is its willingness to support people through difficult circumstances rather than encouraging them to end their lives.”
“I am deeply disappointed that the previously unsuccessful Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is being reintroduced in the House of Commons. It is likely to be debated in September.”
“This bill is wrong in principle as assisted suicide is the direct taking of life. In practice, the bill is a threat to truly compassionate care at the end of life.”
