End of life

At Christian Concern we believe in life, not death. There is currently sustained pressure by a minority of vocal campaigners to weaken the law on assisted suicide and change public opinion on assisted suicide and euthanasia. This would be to the detriment of the whole of society, especially the disabled and terminally ill. People who are suffering at the end of their lives need to be shown compassion and given better palliative care. At Christian Concern we vigorously defend the law relating to euthanasia and assisted suicide to ensure that the vulnerable are protected.
