Cardinal Vincent Nichols has again spoken out on the “deeply flawed process ” occurring in pushing assisted suicide legislation and of the risk of turning the UK's National Health Service (NHS) into a "National Death Service".
His comments come as the UK parliament prepares to have its final vote on legalising assisted suicide. The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is currently making its way through the Committee Stage in parliament; the sponsor Member of Parliament (MP), Kim Leadbeater, has asked for a series of amendments concerning the role of doctors and the reporting of assisted suicides.
