A Peer who has spinal muscular atrophy has told the House of Lords that legalising assisted suicide “frightens” her because she could be tempted to ask for it in the future.
Baroness Campbell of Surbiton made the comments on Friday during a debate on Lord Falconer’s Bill, which would allow patients thought to have six months or less to live to obtain lethal drugs to kill themselves.
The Bill passed its Second Reading without a vote after 126 Peers spoke on the issue.
