Assisted suicide livestream for church leaders
Thursday 24 October at 1.15pm
On 16 October, Kim Leadbeater MP introduced her ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’ to the House of Commons.
The detail has not yet been published, but it is expected to allow those who are terminally ill and diagnosed with six to 12 months or less to live to get help from doctors to kill themselves. It is the latest in a series of moves across the British Isles to remove end-of-life protections for vulnerable people.
What are the implications? How should Christians respond? Can it really be ‘compassionate’ to help someone to die rather than help them to live? And can such a law ever have meaningful safeguards?
To consider these and other crucial questions, join our 45-minute livestream on Thursday 24 October at 1:15pm. It is aimed particularly at church leaders.
The webinar will be hosted by The Institute’s Director Ciarán Kelly, who will be joined by the Institute’s Head of Policy and Research, Dave Greatorex, former palliative care doctor Dr Gillian Wright, and Paul Yeulett, Minister of Grove Chapel Camberwell.
To ensure you join the livestream in good time, it is advised you join approximately five minutes before the start time.
