At the heart of the issue is the view that there has not been even-handed coverage, and the pro-euthanasia lobby has been given unfairly positive reporting.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Legalising euthanasia is not a new debate. The House of Lords rejected two recent attempts to legalise assisted suicide by Lords Joffe (2006) and Falconer (2009). Yet, despite this and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cps.gov.uk\/news\/press_releases\/109_10\/\">reassurances by the Director of Public Prosecutions<\/a> that assisting a person who wishes to commit suicide would not be met with prosecution (as long as certain public interest factors were met), the calls for legalising euthanasia have grown more vociferous.\u00a0Most recently this has led to the <a href=\"http:\/\/commissiononassisteddying.co.uk\/\">launch of a new commission<\/a>,\u00a0heavily criticised by <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.telegraph.co.uk\/news\/georgepitcher\/100065831\/lord-falconer-launches-his-sham-commission-on-assisted-dying-tomorrow-he-will-call-it-independent-yeah-right\/\">several commentators <\/a>as biased because of the pro-euthanasia views of the Chairman and the major funder.<\/p>\n<p>Further criticism was levied at the commission in the current issue of the <em>BMJ<\/em>, owing to the number of commissioners with pro-euthanasia views.\u00a0 This includes a <a href=\"http:\/\/commissiononassisteddying.co.uk\/commissioners\">former president of the General Medical Council<\/a>\u00a0who also gave an inaugural address at the recent launch of a new organisation known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hpad.org.uk\/events\/\">Healthcare Professionals for Assisted Dying<\/a>. This small group of pro-euthanasia healthcare professionals includes in its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hpad.org.uk\/statements-of-support\/\">signatories of support<\/a> the same author of the <em>BMJ<\/em> opinion piece on December 22nd 2010 which inspired the angry letters referenced above.<\/p>\n<p>The complaints in the current issue of the <em>BMJ<\/em> go deeper than lack of neutrality in the medical press.\u00a0 There is a call for religious and philosophical perspectives to be given coverage, a desire for clarity about the influence of worldviews, criticism of inaccurate and misleading terminology, and a recognition that when euthanasia has been practised in other jurisdictions it has distorted the role of the doctor by making him both healer and killer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The argument that has repeatedly convinced Parliament not to change the law has been the concern to protect vulnerable and disabled people from being put under pressure to terminate their lives for fear of being a burden to their families and society.\u00a0 Viewed through this lens, legalising euthanasia is arguably an infringement of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/documents\/udhr\/index.shtml\">article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a>, removing the right to security in the event of sickness and disability.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clearly the issues in this important debate are complex and both sides need to be able to air their views equally if the discussion is to be properly informed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Douglas Noble<\/strong> has worked in surgery, emergency medicine, public health and for the WHO .
