There is a well-financed campaign to legalise doctor-assisted suicide (euphemistically renamed “assisted dying”) by means of a bill currently in the House of Lords. This campaign, led by the old Euthanasia Society (euphemistically renamed “Dignity in Dying”), scored a minor victory this week when the British Medical Association annual meeting voted by a tiny margin (149 to 145 with eight abstaining) to adopt a position of neutrality on, rather than opposition to, assisted suicide.
