MPs champion a society of ‘hope and value’ over assisted suicide
from The Christian Institute:
MPs from across the political spectrum have spoken out against legalising assisted suicide during a debate in Parliament’s Westminster Hall.
In response to a petition calling for a vote on the issue, several MPs highlighted that in countries which have already changed the law, ‘safeguards’ have been eroded and overall suicides have increased, as has the number of people requesting to be killed for fear of being a burden.
Many MPs spoke out against assisted suicide just two years ago, while the most recent legislation in the House of Commons was defeated by 330 votes to 118.
