Summary
When illness makes life unbearable, should we be permitted – and helped – to end our time in this place on our own terms? Last year on this podcast, we spoke to Andrew Copson, Chief Executive of Humanists UK, about the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. On Friday the 24th of April, the bill officially ran out of parliamentary time. Undone not by elected MPs, a vote against it, or lack of public support, but by a filibuster organised by a handful of unelected peers. CALLS TO ACTION The parliamentary petition to stop Lords from denying democracy via delay can be found here.
