Medic MPs urge support for assisted dying bill
Briefly

The group of medic MPs stated in their letter that 'many of us have extensive experience in palliative and terminal care and we have been aware for many years of the awful dilemma put before patients and clinicians in the last days of life.' They emphasized that the current law conflicts with their compassionate care for patients who wish to avoid suffering.
