Is the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill as radical as many critics would have us believe? In this week’s NLJ, Professor Graham Zellick KC, a Senior Master of the Bench, asserts it is not.

Whatever your feelings about the Bill, Professor Zellick’s column provides valuable reading. He writes a clear, persuasive takedown of many of the arguments against the Bill.RELATED ARTICLES
