The law on assisted dying is to be debated in the House of Lords. Peers will discuss a proposal by Lord Falconer calling for people not to be prosecuted for helping someone who is terminally ill travel abroad to die. More than 100 people from the UK have gone to Swiss clinic Dignitas to die, but as yet no-one has been prosecuted. Edward Turner, whose mother travelled to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland to end her life in 2006, and David Morris, founding director of Independent Living Alternatives, debate the right to die.
