NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Dame Prue Leith has called on the government to give ‘proper time’ when considering changing the law to allow medically assisted dying.
The Great British Bake Off judge, 82, is making a documentary about assisted dying with her son and Tory MP for Devizes, Danny Kruger, who is of a different opinion from her on the debate.
The chef and TV presenter said in a new interview that her son has a ‘principled stand’ on the topic as he feels there is a danger it will lead to people feeling pressurised into an assisted death.
She continued: ‘Whereas, I keep saying to him, when you get to my age you speak about death quite a lot. I just feel it’s my life and if I want to end it – which I don’t by the way, I’m really keen on my life – but I would like to have the option.
