Banbury MP Tony Baldry, above, has hit out at calls to legalise assisted suicide, saying: “The only person who should determine when we should die is the Almighty – it is not us.”
He told the Commons this week: “If we get into a situation in which we pick and choose who dies and who lives, it is a slippery slope.”
He said care for the dying is often “mediocre” and needed to improve, with better training for junior doctors and closer NHS working with hospices.
