She argued that it would be “more sensible, more professionally legitimate” for the BMA and General Medical Council (GMC) to take a “studiedly neutral position” as the colleges had done (House of Lords, 2 p 118, q 300). To add to the confusion the position of the BMA and that of the RCGP subsequently changed. After discussion, the RCGP decided that it would not continue to adopt a neutral position on assisted dying but did not agree …
