'It's not assisted dying, it's assisted suicide'
Published: August 15th, 2015
Sam Brackenberry outlines his objections to Rob Marris' Assisted Dying Bill, ahead of the second reading of the bill on 11 September. The bill would allow doctors to give lethal drugs to patients.
Sam, a supporter of the Not Dead Yet campaign, explains how the title of the bill is deceptive: "This is not assisted dying, it's assisted suicide, and it takes the choice of suicide out of the person's hands and gives it to a third party". Sam ends his response to the bill by saying: "I will oppose this bill to my last dying breath".
