In 2006, retired doctor Anne Turner travelled with her family from Bath to Switzerland to end her life at an assisted suicide clinic in Zurich.
No-one faced prosecution over that action. Sir Terry, 61, said no real law would have been contravened.
He told BBC News: "I think it is possible that someone in possession of their faculties who has an incurable disease could actually request death rather than face an unpleasant endgame.
"It seems to me to contravene no real law."
The House of Lords will not vote on the bill until next week. Even then, if they do opt for change, it could be next year before it becomes law. |
Well, what are opinions on it?
When a loved one is really suffering and just wants it to end I personally feel that it should be allowed, I mean there is a point where living for some people becomes a worse fate than death right?
