End of Life Choice Bill
Chris Penk, in Committee, to move the following amendments:
Clause 24A
In clause 24A(1), delete “will,” (page 21).
“will,”
In clause 24A(2), delete “will,” (page 21).
This Supplementary Order Paper amends Supplementary Order Paper No 259 amending the End of Life Choice Bill by removing the reference to a person’s will.
By definition, a will is a document that provides instructions in the event that a person’s death has already taken place. As such, its inclusion in an “assisted dying” regime is nonsensical.
