Assisted suicide backed: A dark day for the vulnerable

Source: Christian Concern

Just moments ago, MPs voted 314 to 291 in favour of the assisted suicide bill. Lives will be needlessly lost as a result.

Despite the many flaws with the legislation, intense criticism of the process and the fervent prayers of God’s people, state-sanctioned suicide will become a reality from 2029 onwards.

It is a desperately dark outcome. Around the world in countries where assisted suicide has already been legalised, you see the same two, twisted trends develop: the numbers of those choosing an assisted suicide increase year on year as the practice becomes normalised, and the criteria for eligibility is always extended. As a result of the vote today, and provided the House of Lords does not block it, England and Wales are about to experience a deadly, social experiment.
