Socialists should back support for living not assisted suicide
Oppose the bill to legalise assisted suicide. Consideration of it is continuing in Parliament. Fight for assistance to live, not assistance to die!
Assisted Dying
Starmer is dead wrong to support assisted dying – it should be opposed!
The warnings from Canada and elsewhere are clear – there are dangerous implications for disabled people and the whole of society if elective suicide becomes normalised.
How the lobby for legalising assisted dying is being fuelled, who it threatens and why socialists should oppose it
The priority of socialists should be on tackling inequalities by progressive measures, defending the availability of good health care, not supporting the normalisation of termination of life as a response to ill health.
