The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill has today received its First Reading in the House of Lords, marking a significant milestone in the campaign to legalise assisted dying as a choice for terminally ill adults.
MPs back amendments to create new regulations and strengthened protections around assisted dying, and reject attempt to gag doctors from discussing choice with eligible patients
As the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) prepares to review its position on assisted dying, Dr Bu O’Brien, a GP in Western Australia who trained in the UK, shares her experience of supporting dying people who want this choice.
