SUPPORT THE ASSISTED DYING BILL: PLEASE MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

Every day, people across the UK face unbearable suffering with no compassionate option to end their lives on their own terms if that is their choice. 

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, introduced by Kim Leadbeater MP, offers a compassionate, safeguarded choice for those facing the end of life. This bill empowers adults with terminal illnesses to make their own decision, while ensuring robust protections are in place.

The next vote on assisted dying will take place on Friday 29 November.

Now is the time to act! By writing to your MP, you can help ensure this new law gets the support it needs. Together, we can bring dignity, choice, and compassion to those nearing the end of their lives.

DRAFT EMAIL

Dear [MP’s Name],

I hope this email finds you well. My name is [Your Full Name], and I am a resident of [Your Constituency]. I am writing to express my strong support for the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which will be debated in Parliament on Friday, 29 November.

This Bill, introduced by Kim Leadbeater MP, would allow terminally ill adults to make the compassionate choice to end their lives on their own terms. It offers a dignified and safeguarded option for those nearing the end of life, while ensuring robust protections are in place to prevent misuse.

Currently, the law forces people who are suffering to either endure unbearable pain, travel abroad to seek assistance, or take matters into their own hands in secret, often without the support they deserve. The passing of this Bill would ensure that individuals in this situation can receive the compassionate care they need, with proper oversight and legal safeguards.

I urge you to vote in favour of this important legislation. By doing so, you would be helping to provide dignity, choice, and peace to those who are terminally ill and suffering.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope you will support this Bill when it is debated on Friday, 29 November. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.

Yours sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
