Archbishop Moth urges rejection of assisted suicide bill

In brief

Archbishop Richard Moth is calling on Members of Parliament to reject The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. The Archbishop of Westminster and President of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales stated that the bill, which seeks to legalize assisted suicide, is wrong in principle and deeply flawed.

The bill is scheduled to return to the House of Commons on September 11. Archbishop Moth suggested that instead of passing this legislation, leaders should improve compassionate and high-quality care to support terminally ill patients.
