Dr Therese Coffey.

The MP for Suffolk Coastal, Dr Therese Coffey, has presented a Ten Minute Rule Bill in parliament that would guarantee access to food and water for those who are terminally ill.
She said:

"Decisions taken to remove nutrition and hydration are not easy.
“However end of life palliative care is about allowing people to die as painlessly as possible, withdrawing hydration and nutrition in some cases, without the family knowing does not do this.
“Death comes to us all and without being too morbid, we have to acknowledge it happens and actually think a little bit about how we want it to happen.
“I am strongly opposed to euthanasia and assisted suicide. However, that doesn't mean that I think someone has to be constantly resuscitated to prolong the life of someone who may have just days to live." [Christian Concern.]

The bill will inevitably fail because of a lack of time.
