UK: the law, the tragedy, and the myths.

What we Stand Against

Assisted suicide is against the law in the UK. But here's what we found. Dangerous backdoor euthanasia programs are the norm in most hospitals. We want to tell you about the Liverpool Care Pathway, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people prematurely. It was reviewed and found unsafe by the government but is still used every day. We want to tell you about Mencaps Death by Indifference report, which found out that avoidable deaths of disabled people were happening in hospitals. And so much more.

To have the human dignity of not feeling like a burden because you're sick, old or disabled. We want patience to choose what their care looks like. And make no mistake about it Dignity in Dying want to take these choices away from you.
