SPUC upholds the right to life from conception until natural death, and has played a part in resisting many attempts both in Parliament and in the courts to change the law on assisted suicide.

There is currently a concerted attempt to impose assisted suicide across the UK. A Bill has just passed its third reading on the Isle of Man. It has already been approved in principle in Jersey, with politicians there now working out the details.

In Scotland, a private members bill brought by Orkney MSP Liam McArthur is making its way through Holyrood.

In Westminster, the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has committed to allowing a free vote on the subject during this Parliament. There is already a private members bill in the House of Lords.

Please see our separate campaign pages for specific threats. General resources on assisted suicide are on this page.
