About this sermon
New numbers say there is support from people in England and Wales for legalizing assisted suicide. According to a study released by King's College London, 63% of those surveyed say they favor legalizing euthanasia in the next 5 years. A measure is expected to be introduced this week. That would give terminally ill people a choice at the end of their life. Church leaders in the UK are speaking out against the proposal with Cardinal Vincent Nichols urging the faithful to write to lawmakers asking them to vote against passing the bill. For now, assisted suicide is illegal in the UK. An anti-euthanasia campaigner based in England, Matthew Schellhorn, joins to share what his take is on the findings from King's College London and whether there is support for legalizing assisted suicide in the UK. Schellhorn tells us what Church leaders are saying about the proposal and whether they are doing enough. He takes us through the process and the timetable. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
