A law to allow assisted suicide for the terminally ill could become ‘state-approved self-extinction’, Boris Johnson has warned.
The
London Mayor said plans to allow doctors to prescribe a lethal dose to
anyone who could 'reasonably be expected to die within six months' could
mean some people come under pressure to end their lives too soon.
Mr Johnson warned ‘life is precious and our psychology fragile’ and any change to the law must be made with caution.
