This post follows from my previous two blogs “National Death Service” and “Polly Toynbee certainty”. It is just a matter of time now before they open the Floodgates of Death. Legitimise assisted suicide and inadvertently condemn a generation to … Continue reading

This post follows on from my blog last week about the “National Death Service”. I wasn’t the only one to take note of the Jones report on early deaths at Gosport Hospital. Just days after its publication, Polly Toynbee, … Continue reading

“An Unholy Trinity”
The Trinity is a sacred alliance that stands up for good over evil. The end of a life should be the celebration of all that has been good in a person’s lifetime. There are positive things to draw out of … Continue reading

“The ‘Benefits’ of Assisted Suicide”
Much has been written about relaxing the law on euthanasia since the publication of Lord Falconer’s report proposing a change of the law on assisted suicide. The report advocates allowing assisted suicide of terminally ill people, obviously with their considered consent … Continue reading
