(Christian Post) – Christians and disability advocates are speaking out against a U.K. government impact assessment that claims the legalization of assisted suicide for the terminally ill could save the U.K.’s National Health Service up to $79 million (£59.6 million) annually.
Groups opposed to assisted suicide say the report ignores the increased vulnerability of individuals with mental health conditions or disabilities, and focuses on killing instead of care.
The analysis predicts between 1,042 to 4,559 assisted deaths each year within a decade of the proposed legislation taking effect, The Christian Institute said in a statement, expressing ethical concerns. CONTINUE
