The bill seeks to legalise assisted suicide for terminally ill adults who have been given less than six months to live.
“Vulnerable people in our society need our unwavering protection and the best quality care, not a pathway to assisted suicide," he said.
Lord Frost warned that legalising assisted suicide would shatter the nation's entire ethical framework and lead to “utilitarianism” where “none of us” would be safe.
"They must vote down Kim Leadbeater’s dangerous Assisted Dying Bill and focus on fixing the UK’s broken palliative care system.”
