Ask your MP

to oppose the

legalisation of assisted suicide

Campaign groups are working hard to legalise assisted suicide in the UK. MPs need to be constantly reminded of the dangers of assisted suicide.

You can use this tool to write to your MP to ask them to oppose assisted suicide whenever it is next voted on.


Please send a message to your MPs telling them why you do not want assisted suicide to be legalised.

How to do this:

  1. Enter your postcode below. This will bring up who your MP is, together with an editable email template.
  2. Edit the email template to explain in your own words why you do not want assisted suicide to be legalised. Please include any personal stories you have, or mention why you or a family member would be under threat if assisted suicide was to be introduced. We have also given you some key points against assisted suicide in the email (which you can delete).
  3. Press Submit. Your email will be automatically sent to your MP.

Assisted suicide is not a solution to pain.

Good palliative care should ensure that pain is controlled well, and some people suffer horrible deaths due to adverse effects of experimental drugs used for assisted suicide in other countries.

Assisted suicide puts pressure on vulnerable people

Where assisted suicide is legal, one reason people choose to die is because they feel they are a burden on others.

People with disabilities and the terminally ill will particularly fear the passing of this law which could make them feel pressured to end their lives.


Most doctors remain opposed to assisted suicide

The majority of doctors in the UK remain opposed to the introduction of assisted dying. This opposition is strongest amongst doctors who work most closely with dying patients.

Earlier this year, SPUC reported on a recent Association of Palliative Medicine (APM) survey that found such doctors were "concerned" that a focus on "traumatic" and "negative" patient cases was being used to manipulate the British public into supporting assisted suicide.
