Assisted suicide

Another political development we have been following with interest is the debate in the public and legal arena around assisted suicide... read more

In 2008, Debbie Purdy, who suffers from the degenerative type of MS wanted to know if her husband would be prosecuted if he accompanied her to Switzerland to end her life. This started a process which has ended with the Director of Public Prosecutions all  but decriminalising assisted suicide in this country.

Like society itself, we are finding it difficult to come to a consensus as a board. One thing we are all agreed on is that condemnation on purely religious grounds is no longer acceptable. We instinctively favour choice and are uncomfortable with state interference beyond protection of the vulnerable and ensuring no crime goes undetected. We have invited the British organisation Dignity in Death to contribute an essay to our next edition of The Natural Death Handbook, and look forward to hearing their arguments.

Bookshop
