Care, Not Killing is an alliance of several organisations who are opposed to the legalisation of euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide in the United Kingdom. Their goals include 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and better palliative care, ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed during the lifetime of the current Parliament, influencing the balance of public opinion against any weakening of the law. They are opposed in their efforts by pro-assisted dying groups such as Dignity in Dying.
Alliance members
The members of the alliance include:
- British Council of Disabled People
- Christian Medical Fellowship
- The Church of England
- The Church of Scotland
- RADAR (The Disability Network)
