Vote against the Assisted Dying Bill Petition Open - 51 SignaturesSign this petition 12 Jun 2025 closes in 5 months, 3 weeks I would like MPs to vote against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. I believe it sets a dangerous precedent, devaluing life based on contribution, not inherent worth. I think it undermines our core principles & puts doctors in a conflicted position, challenging their oath to protect life. Found: I would like MPs to vote against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. |
