A Bill to legalize assisted suicide for the terminally ill is being be introduced to the UK Parliament this week.

In England and Wales. at the moment, it is a criminal offence to assist someone to end their life, but a British Labour Life peer wants to change that by introducing a potentially dangerous Bill to the House of Lords on Friday that will legalise euthanasia.

This will be his fifth attempt, only this time it will be different as he has the backing of the new Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

Starmer has said he is in favour of a change in the law and will allow Members of Parliament to vote on the issue according to their conscience.
