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.

Care not Killing
CARE is a member of the Care not Killing alliance, a UK-based alliance of individuals and organisations which brings together disability and human rights groups, healthcare providers, and faith-based bodies.
The alliance seeks to promote more and better palliative care, and campaigns against the weakening of assisted suicide laws, and works in Parliament and in the courts, and with health professionals, carers, general public and media.
