Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 November 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Assisted Dying.


Assisted Dying

But I do not whether the hon. Gentleman is happy that people are doing that and not being imprisoned, or whether he thinks that it is bad that people are not being punished for what is strictly an offence. Not knowing whether they are liable to be prosecuted and imprisoned is a traumatic experience for many, particularly the recently bereaved.
