There have been increasing reports in the news that the Government will support a Bill in Parliament to legalise assisted dying.
This threat to the sanctity of life requires action on our part to show we will not stand by as such an extreme law is rushed through.
Archbishop John Wilson said in a Pastoral Letter on the subject in March 2024, that as “baptised followers of the Lord Jesus we must do all within our power to support the most vulnerable in our society, especially those who have no voice to speak for themselves.".
In the letter, the Archbishop reminds us that “the Catholic Church believes and teaches that every life is valuable, regardless of one’s physical or mental state or ability. We are called to care for those who are suffering, not to bring about their death. We cannot approve of any form of euthanasia and assisted suicide.”
To help you lodge your opposition to the Bill, the charity Right to Life has set up a simple action on their website which enables you to write to your MP and urge them to oppose this extreme Bill.
The more people who show their opposition to this Bill, the more chance we have in stopping the ending of many lives through assisted dying. So please take action to support this campaign and urge your friends and family to join you.
