Campaign to legalise euthanasia linked to heart transplants
The Euthanasia Society, led by secretary C R Sweetingham, argues that advances in heart transplants show people can be kept alive indefinitely and some sufferers seek the option to die with dignity. They sponsor a Private Bill to legalise euthanasia, naming Lord Listowel as president who could introduce the measure in the Lords. Government neutrality and past failures dim prospects, but supporters stress consent and pain-free feeding on request for terminal or incurable conditions.
