A new amendment to the Coroners and Justice Bill will make it legal to help someone to commit suicide if they were suffering from a terminal illness and were deemed by a coroner to be of sound mind.
“In these times of rapid economic, social and political change, the Christian message needs to be proclaimed with clarity, sincerity and thoughtfulness”, says Adrian Thacker.
Moves to legalise assisted suicide by amending the Coroners & Justice Bill met with strong opposition in the House of Lords last Monday (18 May), but the pro-suicide lobby seem determined to put their bid to a vote this June.
