Lord Carey and bishop’s chaplain join call for Parliament to re-open Assisted Dying debate

From The Tablet-

Pressure is mounting on the Government to legalise assisted dying after a coalition of public figures, including a former Archbishop of Canterbury, wrote a letter urging parties to commit to a debate regardless of the outcome of the next general election.

Lord Carey, Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain and the philosopher AC Grayling were among 80 signatories to the letter to the Daily Telegraph today.


Canon Rosie Harper, chaplain to the Anglican Bishop of Buckingham, Alan Wilson, also signed the letter.


In it they welcomed the progress that had been made in the campaign to legalise assisted dying in the past year.
