ASSISTED DYING BILL. This bill is coming before the Scottish and English Parliaments this April. The bill proposes that people who are facing a “bad death” due to having a terminal illness, should have the right to end their lives. The bill proposes certain safeguards but what is of concern is the danger in what will happen if it becomes law, especially to those who experience vulnerability or disability in their lives. We ask you to pray for guidance from God to our MPs and MSPs. Flyers will be handed out today and we ask that, if you don’t agree with this bill, please lobby by writing to your MP and MSP as soon as you can and try to prevent this Bill going through. Please take time to read the flyer and please do what you can. Thank you.
