That this House notes the biased coverage given by the BBC on 10th October to Lord Joffe, who announced his intention to re-introduce a Bill to legalise physician-assisted suicide; notes Lord Joffe's persistent claim that his Bill will follow the Oregon legislation, which he cites as excellent; further notes, however, that no other state in America has followed the example of Oregon and that 12 states have rejected similar legislation, citing in debates the deleterious effects experienced there; regrets that there was nobody on the programme to raise and clarify such points; further notes that Five Live on the same day interviewed a member of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society who has multiple sclerosis and called for physician-assisted suicide with nobody to give the alternative view; further notes the BBC's failure to take account of the Disability Rights Commission, which takes no moral stand on euthanasia, but is opposed to any such legislation because of the effects on the rights of people with disability, and that every disability rights group in the UK holds the same position; recalls that in 2003 and 2004 honourable Members objected repeatedly to the manner in which the BBC contravened its Charter by persistently supporting the campaign to legalise euthanasia and received no satisfaction regarding protests against the failure of the BBC to interview the disabled or terminally ill unless they declared support for euthanasia; and calls on the Solicitor General to require the BBC to abide by its Charter and to show impartiality on all issues of public policy.

My Lords, this debate should not be afflicted either by religious extremism towards the secular thinker or secular bigotry towards the religious believer. It is important—is it not?—that we attach to this problem disciplined thinking and clear analysis. After the rather ironic comments suggesting that a secular contribution is the...

My Lords, I was very happy to discover that the noble Baroness, Lady Murphy, has covered a lot of what I wanted to say, so I hope that I can be reasonably short. I felt totally in tune with her speech. I have seen this process at first hand a...

My Lords, I, too, pay tribute to the committee so ably chaired by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay, which produced such a balanced report with clarity on such complex and sensitive issues. I speak as a retired nurse with 53 years of experience in the profession. I have...

My Lords, I belonged for 44 years to one of the professions that see death at first hand more often than others. Like doctors, soldiers cannot afford to marginalise death as something that does not impinge on their life. I make that point because I know that that attitude exists...

My Lords, there were of course, as we have heard, very strongly held views on both sides of the argument in our committee, on which I was privileged to sit. Yet the report which was produced sets out the issues far more clearly than I ever expected, or even hoped...

My Lords, in a debate in which allegations of religious prejudice have been flying around, I should begin with a declaration of an interest as a licensed lay minister in the diocese of Oxford—or, rather, I am allowed to so describe myself by application every two years, following my 70th...

My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, I make clear that I think this is a serious subject and I was nodding in jocular form at his remark about ““””scandalous””.

My Lords, much of what I wanted to say tonight has already been said far more eloquently than I could hope to do. First, I also commend the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay, and the committee on the report, which I found places this very difficult problem in perspective....

My Lords, I had not intended to speak in the debate, but when I read the excellent report produced by the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay, and his team I realised that there seemed to be something lacking. The report places very strong emphasis, on the one hand, on...

My Lords, the debate has ebbed and flowed. I rise as a layman, who will die one day, to help voice the opposition, in the House and in the country, to the former Bill of the noble Lord, Lord Joffe. I have had letters from all over the country, all...

My Lords, the hour is late, and I am number 64 in the batting order. We have heard legal, moral, medical, philosophical and theological views put forward. At this stage perhaps it may be of some consolation that another angle may be opened up, for the line of argument that...

My Lords, before my noble friend sits down, would he address the point he made about the number of assisted suicides in Oregon? He said that the figure has remained steady over the period of seven years, when in fact the latest report issued on 10 March this year by...

My Lords, like many noble Lords I took part in the last debate we had on this subject in June 2003. I strongly supported the establishment of the Select Committee although I did not support the Bill. Despite personal experience as a carer, I have tried as dispassionately as I...
