Aims

The Care, Not Killing alliance has three key aims:

  1. Promoting more and better palliative care
  2. Ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed during the lifetime of the current Parliament
  3. Influencing the balance of public opinion against any weakening of the law

Care, Not Killing is opposed by pro-assisted suicide groups such as Dignity in Dying.
