Palliative care is the way forward, not assisted suicide

The assisted suicide bill at Westminster is now highly likely to fall after the government refused to give it any more parliamentary time. 

This is a wholly welcome outcome because the assisted suicide bill is deeply divisive and dangerous. At CARE, we do not think it is appropriate to grant the state the legal power to help some people kill themselves. 

Criticism

From the moment this Bill was introduced it has faced fierce criticism from atheists, medical experts, religious groups, disability groups and many, many others.
