介绍： My lords, as I rise to speak on this bill, I declare my interest as an ambassador for Thames Hospice. But the views I express today are my own. 
各位上议院议员，我起身就这项法案发言时，要声明我是泰晤士临终关怀医院的名誉大使，但今天我所表达的观点，仅代表我个人立场。
And I say that I recognize that across this house, there will be very firmly held views on both sides of this argument. Some coming from personal real personal experience as we heard from my noble friend Lord Forsyth. But my lords, I oppose this bill and I wish to set out my main reasons. 
而且我要说，我承认在本议院内，对于这一议题的双方都会持有非常坚定的观点。正如我们从我的贵族朋友福赛斯勋爵那里听到的那样，有些观点源自个人的真实经历。但诸位勋爵，我反对这项法案，并希望阐明我的主要理由。
First, I do not believe that the safeguards in this bill will prevent people from being pressurized to end their lives sometimes for the benefit of others.
首先，我不相信这项法案中的保障措施会阻止人们有时为了他人的利益而被迫结束自己的生命。
I also worry that as we have seen in countries where there is such a law that people will feel that they must end their lives simply because they feel they are a burden on others.
我也担心，正如我们在那些有此类法律的国家所看到的那样，人们会仅仅因为觉得自己是别人的负担而选择结束自己的生命。
I worry about the impact it will have on people with disabilities, with chronic illness, with mental health problems because there is a risk that legalizing assisted dying reinforces the dangerous notion that some lives are less worth living than others.
我担心它会对残疾人、慢性病患者以及有心理健康问题的人造成影响，因为将协助死亡合法化有可能强化这样一种危险观念，即有些人的生命不如其他人有价值。
And again, as we have seen in other countries, once a law like this is passed, the pressure then grows to extend the scope of it.
而且，正如我们在其他国家所看到的那样，一旦这样的法律获得通过，随之而来的要扩大其适用范围的压力就会越来越大。
I also oppose it because I believe that in the absence of the by disapplying the default of a coroner's report, there is a danger that this could be used as a cover up. A cover up for mistakes made in hospital or for perhaps a hospital acquired illness illness infection which has led to an increased likelihood of death. I have a friend who calls it the license to kill bill.
我之所以反对它，还因为我认为，如果取消验尸官报告的默认要求，就有可能被当作掩盖真相的手段。比如掩盖医院里的失误，或者掩盖医院内感染导致死亡风险增加的情况。我有个朋友称其为“杀人许可证法案”。
And finally, my lords, this is not an assisted dying bill. It is an assisted suicide bill. As a society, we believe that suicide is wrong. The government has a national suicide prevention strategy. We bemoan the number of young people who are lured into committing suicide by social media and what they read on the internet.
最后，诸位议员，这不是一项协助死亡法案，而是一项协助自杀法案。作为一个社会，我们认为自杀是错误的。政府有全国性的预防自杀策略。我们痛心地看到，有许多年轻人被社交媒体和互联网上的内容所引诱而自杀。
This week is World Suicide Awareness week. Suicide is wrong. But this bill effectively says suicide is okay. What message does that give to our society? Suicide is not okay. Suicide is wrong. This bill is wrong. And in my opinion, it should not pass.
本周是世界预防自杀周。自杀是错误的。但这项法案实际上却在说自杀是可以的。这会给我们的社会传递什么样的信息呢？自杀是不对的。自杀是错误的。这项法案也是错误的。依我之见，它不应被通过。
