About CNK

Care Not Killing is a UK-based alliance of individuals and organisations which brings together disability and human rights groups, healthcare providers, and faith-based bodies, with the aims of:

What we do

We work in Parliament and in the courts, and with health professionals, carers, general public and media.

Care Not Killing seeks to attract the broadest range of support among those who are opposed to euthanasia in principle or in practice. It appeals to those of all faiths and none by adducing arguments based on reason alone, by avoiding any appeals to extremism, and by drawing on and developing a well-researched evidence base.

Care Not Killing’s activities are overseen by a board of trustees.
