SUMMARY:
Britain’s House of Commons recently passed a bill legalizing assisted suicide for terminally ill adults expected to live less than six months. The vote was narrow (314 to 291) but the decision remains a cultural surrender.
This isn’t just happening in Great Britain. A separate assisted dying bill received initial backing by the Scottish Parliament. Canada is broadening its euthanasia laws to include mental illness. And several U.S. states, including New York and Connecticut, are also continuing to expand assisted suicide access.
In each case, policymakers claim to be promoting compassion. But what they’re advancing is a philosophy of quiet abandonment. The measure of care becomes whether someone wants to live, not whether they are worthy of life.
