Bishop Mark Davies of Shrewsbury is urging “all those who value the sanctity of human life and desire the best care and support for the sick and dying” to oppose an “assisted dying” Bill that is expected to be introduced into the House of Lords on Wednesday.
“The Bill comes at the end of a public health crisis where all our efforts have been directed towards safeguarding the vulnerable,” the Bishop writes in a statement released Monday. “To remove legal protections in legislating for assisted suicide will take away a shield from some of the most vulnerable members of society.”
