ASSISTED SUICIDE BILL BEFORE PARLIAMENT
Event Information
URGENT PETITION: Assisted Suicide Bill Threatens Vulnerable People
Click on the QR code on the left to sign the petition - "We call on MP's to reject any proposal to legalise assisted suicide."
Care Not Killing (CNK) has launched a PETITION calling on MPs to
reject proposals for an assisted suicide law in England and Wales.
In April (or possibly May), MPs will again vote on the Terminally Ill Adults(End of Life) Bill. Despite a disappointing initial vote of 330–275 infavour, there is now a realistic chance the Bill can be defeated.
The Independent newspaper reports that 142 MPs who initially backed the Bill could withdraw their support (citing safeguarding concerns). NOW isthe time for Catholics to make their voices heard.
If assisted suicide becomes law in England & Wales:
1. Hospice [and palliative care] provision will be undermined
2. Suicide prevention efforts will be weakened
3. Elderly and disabled people will feel pressure to take their own lives*
