The Bishop of Leeds has today urged the people of his diocese to ask their MPs to vote against assisted suicide, warning that assisted suicide can "never be autonomous in nature" because of the impact each individual death will have on the family, friends and healthcare professionals associated with it.
In the letter published in Leeds on 30th October, The Right Rev. Marcus Stock urged “the clergy, religious and lay faithful to unite in prayer and compassionate action to oppose the passage of this Bill and the legalisation of assisted suicide”.
