The introduction of assisted suicide could risk making the medical profession a “no go area” for Catholics, The Catholic Union of Great Britain has warned.
Following the decision from the House of Commons Health and Social Care Committee to launch an inquiry into assisted suicide at the end of last year, the Catholic Union ran an online survey of their members and supporters to ask for their views.
The results from the survey, published today (20 January), reveal that 88 per cent of responders thought that introducing assisted suicide would make it harder for Catholics and other people of faith to enter the medical profession.
