Cancer-stricken Dame Esther Rantzen calls for vote to make assisted dying legal in UK after 'profoundly disappointing' MP report which stopped short of demanding a debate on contentious topic

Daily Mail  

Dame Esther Rantzen led a chorus of dismay after a much-anticipated report by MPs into assisted dying failed to deliver any clear-cut findings or proposals. Dame Esther Rantzen, 83, who was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer last year, led a chorus of dismay after a much-anticipated report by MPs into assisted dying failed to deliver any clearcut findings or proposals It comes after broadcaster John Dimbleby said the UK's law against medically assisted death is 'increasingly unbearable' in the wake of his brother's death Meanwhile, the committee did call on the Government to ensure universal access to palliative care for the terminally ill, having heard evidence of ‘patchy’ end-of-life provisions. ‘If MPs take just one thing from the mountains of evidence heard in this inquiry, it’s that the current law on assisted dying is unsafe and woefully inadequate. Dr Gordon Macdonald, chief executive of Care Not Killing, said: ‘At a time when we have seen how fragile our health care system is, how underfunding puts pressure on services, accessing specific treatments and when the UK’s amazing hospice movement faces a £100 million funding crisis, MPs could have decided to firmly close the door on assisted suicide and euthanasia. ‘It is important that everyone is able to choose what type of support they need at the end of their life, and that their advanced care plan is honoured where possible.’ Number 10 has previously said it would be up to Parliament whether or not to again debate legalising assisted dying.
