Recent weeks have seen the remarkable debate about the prospect of assisting suicide being made legal in the United Kingdom (I write this before the first and indicative vote on 29 November).
So many voices are being heard in this continuing debate. The issue at stake is so fundamental: literally a matter of life and death. Doctors, nurses, judges, palliative care workers, vulnerable people, those who fear the pain that often comes with the ending of life, have all been expressing their concerns and convictions. So too have those of religious faith, of many different religions.
