“introducing assisted suicide when care services are so fragmented presents a "huge risk" that people may decide to end their lives "simply because of lack of high-quality care"”
What Professor Katherine Sleeman has said
“The question of whether Assisted Dying is considered a treatment may appear to be of only academic interest, but it has profound real-world implications. Ambiguity on this question in the Terminally Ill Adults Bill introduces potential risks for both the patients who might consider assisted death, and the professionals who care for them. Parliamentarians must address this question.”
