Is assisted suicide really that bad?

Part of my role at Christians Action, Research and Education (CARE) involves travelling and speaking at different churches and conferences around the UK. I’m frequently asked to speak on issues around the end of human life.

This means covering both assisted suicide, but also palliative care and clearing up some misunderstandings about what happens when someone dies.

I’m increasingly struck that at every church and seminar there is always one hand that goes up in the Q&A and the person admits that they really struggle with the historic, orthodox Christian position on assisted suicide. This has proven true at men’s meetings, whole church gatherings, small groups and prayer meetings.
