Please write to your M.P. urging them to vote ‘No’ on 29th November to the Assisted Suicide Bill, which seeks to allow people, under certain circumstances to be put to death by medical professionals. There are occasions when this might seem to be compassionate and the kind thing to do. However it is highly likely to lead to a situation where vulnerable people coming towards the end of their life may be encouraged to die. Some people do not always care for their relatives, and can be aware that the death of a relative might lead to an inheritance. In such a situation it is so important that people are allowed to live until the moment they leave this world naturally.
Evidence from Oregon, in the U.S, whose laws have been quoted as a model for the U.K show that 47% of those choosing assisted suicide did so to due to concerns that they were a ‘burden on family and friends’. Hospice UK has identified over 100,00 people die every year without access to palliative care, which caused the government to state the NHS is ‘going through the biggest crisis in its history’. Against this backdrop, now is not the time to legalise assisted suicide. Not one organisation of disabled people has called for the Bill or supports it.
Please contact your MP to ask them to oppose the Bill:- Sally Jameson MP (Doncaster Central); Ed Miliband MP (Doncaster North); John Healey MP (Conisbrough & Denaby) or Lee Pitcher MP (Doncaster East & Isle of Axholme). Their address is House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA
The Formaton and Mission Team is planning a number of events to help people to develop their spirituality. These will begin with an online week of Guided Prayer from 1-7 December led by the Jesuit Institute.
