Assisted suicide and new DPP guidance
23 Sep 2009
The MS Society has responded to today’s (Wednesday’s) clarification on assisted suicide in England and Wales by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
MS Society Chief Executive, Simon Gillespie, said: "People have been given the green light to explore assisted suicide, but without the support of medical professionals their only likely resource is Google.
"Whether society is ready to accept assisted suicide is too big a question for the DPP, for the courts, or for people with a long-term condition to decide.
"That’s why the MS Society is calling for a Royal Commission to advise the government on whether legislation for assisted suicide is now needed."
