Do No Harm” is a short documentary which highlights some of the grave concerns around proposals to legalise assisted dying in the UK and Scottish Parliaments.
The documentary gathers together experts from the medical and palliative care professions, alongside prominent politicians, ethics experts and religious leaders, to construct a unified voice of unease.
It spotlights key concerns around preserving human dignity and protections for vulnerable groups. It challenges the robustness of tabled safeguards in the UK legislation, by citing the experience of other jurisdictions which quickly eased access and expanded eligibility.
Please raise your voice to protect the vulnerable. Contact your MP today and urge them to vote against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill when it comes before the UK Parliament on 29th November.
Contact your MP using the Write to Them website.

The Bishops' Conference of Scotland have released a statement encouraging world leaders to establish a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, to commit all nations to a rapid and just transition away from fossil fuels.

The statement, which is released today to mark the COP29 climate summit currently underway in Azerbaijan, calls on Scotland to play its role in realising the common good by participating in a swift transition away from fossil fuels, underpinned by a just transition for workers.

Archbishop William Nolan, President of Justice & Peace Scotland and of the Bishops' Conference of Scotland's Care of Creation Office said: "I welcome the statement and urge governments at COP29 to overcome national interests and pledge themselves to concrete action now.”
