The article includes and invitation to write to your local MP. The section is attached here and shown below.
Assisted Dying Bill
The debate and vote on Assisted Dying has had a great deal of coverage in recent weeks. As the date of the debate fast approaches (Friday 29th November) it is still not too late to do three things:
1) Write to your MP
The sample letter below may prove useful as a draft to those who would wish to urge their Member or Parliament to vote against the proposed legislation. Simply address it to your MP and send it from your own email address.
2) Talk about it
Secondly, lets talk about it, in our church communities and beyond especially if that opens up a healthy conversation about death and dying.
3) Pray
We can continue to pray for the dying, especially those whose death may be lonely or painful. We can pray for those who care for them. We can pray for our MPs and all who will have to make such a complex and agonising decision. And we can pray for our nation, that we will continue to be a place that values the beauty and dignity of every human person made in the image and likeness of God.
