Not Dead Yet UK statement on the Assisted Dying bill second reading
We are disappointed to see that MPs have voted in favour of legalising assisted suicide. The vote was close. It does not mean it is now law, and there are many more steps to go through before this can happen. We will protest this unsafe and discriminatory law at each of these stages. We have come an incredibly long way given the vast resources of those in favour, and we are encouraged by the strength of feeling in support of disabled people amongst those who have joined us to protest this bill. We are relying on you to continue to support disabled people and our fight for assistance to live, not assistance to die.
