Tanni Grey Thompson: Assisted Dying Is A Dangerous Path

July 18, 2014
by

Paralympic multi-gold medallist Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, has spoken out against the legalisation of assisted dying, warning that a bill proposed by former Labour Lord Chancellor Lord Falconer does not have “adequate safeguards”.

Speaking to the BBC, Baroness Grey-Thompson also suggested that allowing people the “right to die” was “a really dangerous path to go down”, as some people might feel they were a burden to society and therefore had a “duty to die”.

    i agree with Tanni Grey Thompson and she will have to fight her corner on this topic and hope she fairs better then on what she has achieved so far on welfare reform in which she’s failed miserably

    I support what Tanni has had to say on this matter and I hope this bill fails in the House of Lords.Our lives are for living not dying and certainly not for killing.
