Finlay: 'suicide not the answer'

Prosecutors will start work later to clarify the law on assisted suicide after a landmark court victory by a multiple sclerosis sufferer.

Law Lords backed a call by Debbie Purdy, 46 and from Bradford, for formal advice on the legal position of those who help a loved one commit suicide.

Baroness Finlay, who chairs the All Party Parliamentary Group on Dying Well, said she does not think that suicide is an answer to people's problems.
