Clear warning
Sir – Here in Belgium many of my friends, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, are watching the recent developments in the UK Parliament relating to the forthcoming assisted-dying legislation with great concern. Does anyone really believe that the present British government, or its successors, will manage to contain the Bill as it stands? If it passes it will be amended until it is unrecognisable and its impact will balloon in the same way that abortion has. Here euthanasia is so out of control that we are killing depressed teenagers – and now that the doctors responsible have the protection of the law there is next to nothing that can be done about it. Almost identical stories have come from everywhere in the world where euthanasia has been made legal. If Members of Parliament don’t see this Bill for what it is, then they can’t say that they weren’t warned.
