The Dog that Refused to Bark - The Lord Falconer Commission

I came across this post by Peter Saunders in my hunt for information about who the members of the Lord Falconer Commission on Assisted Dying were. It's a list of those who were asked to give evidence to the commission and refused. Amongst them are the BMA, the BMA Ethics Committee, Alzheimers UK, most of the royal colleges, Carers UK, MacMillan Cancer Support, the Motor Neurone Disease Association, the Association of British Neurologists, the Huntingdon Disease Association, the Multiple Sclerosis Association and many others. Why did they refuse? Maybe because they knew that the deck was stacked..
