As MPS debate euthanasia, the facts its advocates don’t tell you

Today MPs will debate euthanasia and assisted suicide following a concerted high-profile campaign calling for a change in the law.

Assisted suicide isn’t compassionate. If you deliberately take a human life you cross a line, and open the door to all kinds of abuse.

Along with disability groups, Christian Concern will be holding a rally outside parliament to urge MPs to reject assisted suicide and euthanasia.

We are repeating this article by Simon Caldwell, first published on March 15, in which he sets out the horrific consequences that its advocates ignore.

SIR Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party and the man on course to be the next Prime Minister, this week committed himself to bringing forward a Bill to legalise ‘assisted dying’, the contemporary euphemism for assisted suicide or euthanasia.

In a telephone call filmed by ITV, Sir Keir assured Dame Esther Rantzen, a cancer sufferer campaigning for doctors to be given more powers to kill their patients, that ‘I’m personally in favour of changing the law’.

He said: ‘I think we need to make time. We will make the commitment. Esther, I can give you that commitment right now. If we are privileged to enough to win the election we will make time for this vote.’ He added that it would ‘definitely’ come in the next Parliament.

‘Assisted dying’ is the latest fad to sweep the decadent post-modern West. Only last week President Emmanuel Macron of France announced, seemingly from nowhere, his intention to bring forward an assisted suicide Bill too.
