Care Not Killing Alliance

Care Not Killing

Care Not Killing is a UK-based alliance of individuals and organisations - including the Church of England - which brings together disability and human rights organisations, healthcare and palliative care groups, and faith-based organisations, with the aims of:

  • promoting more and better palliative care;
  • ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed during the lifetime of the current Parliament;
  • influencing the balance of public opinion further against any weakening of the law.

The Care Not Killing Alliance seeks to attract the broadest support among the very many in the medical profession and allied health services and in society at large who are opposed to euthanasia. It appeals to those of all faiths and none by adducing arguments based on reason alone, by avoiding any appeals to extremism, and by drawing on and developing a well-researched evidence base.

Visit the Care Not Killing website for news on the alliance's campaign, opinions from medical experts, links to official Parliament documents, and a wealth of information on the ongoing assisted dying debate.
