Disabled protest against assisted suicide Bill

The Christian Institute / Christian Medical Fellowship

On 14 July, disabled people descended on Westminster in droves to lobby MPs on Rob Marris’s Assisted Dying (no 2) Bill.

Marris seeks to give adults who are terminally ill and mentally competent the ‘right’ to have assistance to kill themselves using lethal drugs on the say-so of two doctors and one High Court judge. The Bill is due to have its second reading on 11 September.
