Assisted Suicide

A better story

All life has intrinsic value and dignity – regardless of its condition. We recognise how immensely difficult it is to suffer or to see a loved one enduring pain, but, as Christians, we are called to protect those who are vulnerable and assist people to live – not to commit suicide.

And we want to advocate for a better way: excellent palliative care, so that those approaching life's natural end can have confidence that death can be dignified and pain can be managed.

Old Age: A Biblical Deepdive

Peter Ladd examines how Christian faith can provide us with a better vision for what it looks like to get older: one which explains why things are the way they are, points us as to how we can live, and gives us a sure and certain hope for the future.
