Promoting care,
opposing euthanasia

We work in parliaments and in the courts, and with health professionals, carers, general public and media to promote more, earlier and better palliative care; and to ensure existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed

CURRENT SITUATION

Westminster

Kim Leadbeater's Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill passed second reading on 29 November, 2024 and is currently at committee stage. The committee has requested evidence be submitted from interested parties and will sit soon.

Holyrood

The Health, Social Care and Sport Committee is taking evidence on Liam McArthur's Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill and will prepare a report before a Stage 1 Vote later this year

LATEST NEWS

Two major calls for evidence have been issued at Westminster: one on the state of palliative care, and the other on the substance of Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide bill.
Care Not Killing disappointed at second reading vote, but welcomes the growing number of MPs expressing concern about legalising assisted suicide.
"Only 11% are immune to any anti-assisted dying arguments, suggesting that large swathes of the public remain fluid in their view."
Warning to MPs as Leadbeater Bill second reading nears.
Former PM Gordon Brown joins the Health and Justice Secretaries, Lib Dem leader, disability rights groups, and medical bodies in urging the Bill’s rejection on 29 November.
New polling also shows 51% agree that "assisted dying inevitably discriminates against the poor who cannot afford comfortable end-of-life living."
