Tanni Grey-Thompson, the cross-bench peer and former Paralympic athlete, has said she received “abusive” emails accusing her of being “responsible for people dying in pain” because of her opposition to the assisted dying bill.
Grey-Thompson, a multiple gold medallist and disability rights campaigner is expected to speak in Friday’s second reading of the terminally ill adults (end of life) bill, which would allow terminally ill people in England and Wales to request medical help to end their lives.
