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.
