In a letter dated 18/01/19, the charity stated: “In terms of assisted dying, the HAD would never support anything that is against UK law. Therefore, we do not embark in any campaigns to promote assisted dying or promote other organisations who do this.
“Our research funding is not allocated to research using human embryos. We take the view that our research funding is better directed towards research that improves quality of life for people affected by Huntington’s now so tends to be more social science orientated.”
