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and better palliative care; and to ensure existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed

Care Not Killing responds to “deeply worrying” proposal to ditch High Court safeguard from Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide bill.
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."
