Asssisted dying bill meeting
2025-02-28 19:00 - 21:00 | St Peter’s RC Church, St Boniface Lane, Crownhill, Plymouth, PL5 3AX
The assisted dying bill will affect all of us. The bill is in motion but you still have a voice. You might even agree with it. But urge you to understand it FULLY before letting it go through. This Friday Dr Mark from Derriford is hosting an event to help us understand a different perspective to what we often hear on the news. And Dr Mark deals with pain management on a daily basis, so he’s worth listening to. If you can’t make it, perhaps email the contact address for more info anyway…
We must be thinking people. We’ve stopped thinking in our society. And if we look at other countries right now, we not each have a democratic voice for very long
