The Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch has recently expressed strong opposition towards euthanasia, an act of assisted suicide.
“This would change the current law prohibiting assistance with suicide and make it legally possible for terminally ill people to request and receive from their doctors drugs that would enable them to commit suicide,” the bishop expressed.
Backing him up was UK-based alliance Care Not Killing, which called for the government to reject assisted suicide in favour of moves to improve palliative care, bringing together groups involved with human rights healthcare, palliative care, and faith-based organisations.
Care Not Killing and concerned individuals recently produced a DVD as a contribution to the current debate on euthanasia and assisted suicide.
