"We don't legalise to kill in this country. It would be devastating not just for those who are saying they want it, but for those who are in difficult situations and need to be told: You are beautiful, you are dignified, there is hope."

Ahead of the first reading of Kim Leadbeater's bill to legalise assisted suicide on Wednesday 16 October, our Chief Executive Andrea Williams speaks with LBC about the far-reaching consequences of a change in law, seen in countries where it has been legalised.

She speaks of the truly compassionate alternative - help and community which bring hope and beauty to those in despair.
