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.

Contact your MP about assisted suicide
We are acutely concerned about Labour MP Kim Leadbeater's assisted suicide Bill in the Commons. If passed, it would allow people diagnosed with a terminal illness to get lethal drugs from a doctor, which they can use to end their life.
It is so important that MPs hear from their constituents on this issue especially as it is being rushed through in haste without much chance for debate. Please click the button below to use our email tool.
