82% of people in the UK think assisted dying should be legal. Do you agree, friend?
Hi Friend,
300 dying people in this country will take their own lives this year - with no support, and no legal protection. They will be forced to die alone or incriminate any loved one who helps them. It's a tragic situation, and one that has to end.
Dignity in Dying supporters are working hard to convince politicians that we need a compassionate assisted dying law. Your perspective can help shape our campaign's strategy. Will you help us make our campaign more effective than ever by sharing your thoughts? Here's question one from our two-minute survey:
Do you think that assisted dying should be legal for terminally ill, mentally competent adults in the UK?
Most people have strong views about the UK's assisted dying law. In fact, 84% of us think assisted dying should be legal (1).
The current law forces dying people to make impossible decisions about their future and that of their loved ones. Almost half of British people would consider breaking the law to help a dying person end their life - but they could risk years in prison for doing so. What would you do, friend?
Help us convince Parliament to act on assisted dying - take our campaign strategy survey now. Here's question one again:
Do you think that assisted dying should be legal for terminally ill, mentally competent adults in the UK?
Thanks for sharing your views, friend. We've already convinced thousands of people, and dozens of politicians, that assisted dying should be legal. It won't happen overnight, but we know - with your support - that we can finish the job.
