Q&A: Assisted suicide

A panel of experts believes there is a "strong case" for a change in the law

A group of experts have called for a change in the law to allow assisted suicide.

They have argued that the current system is incoherent and needs to change.

But the panel - the Commission on Assisted Dying - acknowledged that any new arrangements would have to be carefully regulated to protect the vulnerable.

What does the current law say?

Wasn't the system changed last year though?

What does the commission call for?

So will the law be changing then?
