Interview Dr. David Randall, from 'Our Duty Of Care' campaign group who oppose assisted dying and euthanasia, on the ramifications of changing the law on assisted dying "Laws send messages and if we change the law saying that some people don't have the same protections as others, that actually sometimes it's right to take people's life or people can make that choice, I think that sends a very significant message to people who are vulnerable, who are disabled, who are perhaps depressed and suicidal and part of suicide prevention is part of the role of medicine" (BBC News 10pm Bulletin - 29/02/2024 - AEXZ288W) STORY: The Assisted Dying Bill seeks to legalise assisted dying, allowing terminally ill individuals, with a life expectancy of six months or less, to choose to end their life. It proposes stringent safeguards to ensure that the decision is voluntary, informed, and made by a person with full mental capacity. UK MP's have a free vote on the Bill.
