Highlights

Resistance Campaign

Euthanasia is a consistently live issue, as opponents of the law seek to have it changed (click here to see last week’s story on Tony Nicklinson, who wants the law changed so that his wife will not be prosecuted if she kills him). Please consider supporting the Resistance Campaign, run by ‘Not Dead Yet UK’, which seeks to protect disabled and terminally ill people from the increasing calls to legalise assisted suicide and euthanasia.
