Tom Marshall's parents took their own lives due to the pain of their illnesses.

His mother, who had Huntington 's disease, and father, were found dead three days later .

Mr Marshall said he would consider doing the same unless assisted dying was legalised.

Proposals to give terminally ill people the right to end their lives were introduced in the UK Parliament earlier this month .

Members of the Senedd will vote on whether to support a motion that would also give people with incurable physical illnesses the same option.
