HC Deb 13 May 1982 vol 23 cc305-6W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will consider setting up a working party headed by an eminent member of the legal profession into the legal and ethical implications of decisions that doctors have to make, in view of advancements in medical technology.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

No, although I am considering the question of the legal and ethical implications of many developments in modern medicine.
