Henry "even if a few grannies get bullied into it" Marsh clarifies: Agrees "yes, in principle", if there's some cases of coercion into 'assisted' death, the greater public good is satisfied. "There is always a cost" "But you justify that risk by saying more people benefit" (Marsh regrets "crass" comment on "sacrificing grannies": "I didn't realise it was going to get into the public domain")

On assisted death for women with terminal anorexia: After a series of committee witnesses have dismissed Chelsea Roff's findings, Dr Naomi Richards says it happens in the AD model for this bill but is a "very minor issue", and "a bit of a red herring", a distraction from "a new mode of dying". "It's like a very sort of minor kind of issue to get focused on. I've seen so much about this in the press and discussed here..." "there is 1 or 2 cases. I mean, this is not something that should be given a huge amount of time because it's a distraction from the fact that really what we're talking about is a new mode of dying" ... "to get fixated on the two people with terminal anorexia who have access to assisted dying in the States is a bit of a red herring, I think."

We were down in Rochester & Strood today - where MP Lauren Edwards is under the most pressure to revive the failed assisted death Bill and push it through into law. Local residents turned out with The OH's Fiona Mackenzie MBE & Not Dead Yet UK, to ask her not to return this Bill.

We think MPs should listen to what's gone wrong in Canada's assisted dying. Donna Duncan's story must be heard - told by her brave daughter Alicia. It's one of somersaulting horror - and state and professional failure of a fiercely independent woman.

This is why any safeguards which make it into the Assisted Death bill will soon become portrayed as 'barriers' to equal right of access. The safeguards will then start to be removed. As has happened in Australia and Canada within a few short years. 'Safeguards become barriers':
