The legalo-ethical position on assisted suicide
Mike Semple Piggot
I was talking to Colin Samuels about the amendments to our law on suicide being put forward by Lord Falconer – an amendment which failed to pass scrutiny in the House of Lords. We thought it would be interesting to debate this issue, comparing and contrasting the position taken in the United Kingdom and in the parts of the United States.
As always – we welcome your contribution to knowledge, analysis and discussion in the comments section. I set out the current position, as best as I can, in the United Kingdom with a few observations.
