The Anscombe Centre has published a new paper analysing evidence from multiple jurisdictions that have introduced "assisted dying" and which shows that the practise has a detrimental effect on palliative care provision, in contradiction to previous claims by the UK government.

It comes ahead of the Second Reading debate in the House of Commons over Kim Leadbeater MP’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill at the end of this month, and as the surrounding debate on euthanasia and assisted dying/suicide (collectively referred to as "EAS") intensifies in the UK.
