It is currently illegal in the UK to encourage or assist anyone to take their own life – the offence carries a maximum penalty of up to 14 years in prison. But recently, there have been increasing moves to legalise euthanasia and assisted suicide in the UK, with some MPs predicting that it will be made legal in a few short years and the media now campaigning to make it law.

But what does the Bible have to say about euthanasia and assisted suicide? Is there ever a reason to help end someone’s suffering? Dr Peter Saunders answers these questions, calling Christians to help cultivate a culture of assisted living, rather than assisted dying.

We will be joined by Christian Concern’s Head of Public Policy, Tim Dieppe for a Q&A straight after.
