Living and Dying Well

 

 Keeping the law safe for sick and disabled people

 

Living and Dying Well is a public policy research organisation whose aim is to explore and publish the evidence relating to what is being euphemistically called 'assisted dying' - meaning the legalisation of physician-assisted suicide or physician-administered euthanasia.  Living and Dying Well is not neutral in this complex and controversial debate.  It takes the view that legalisation of these practices would present serious risks to public safety.  But it is not a campaigning organisation.  It seeks to present the facts surrounding 'assisted dying' in an evidence-based and measured manner and to avoid the sensationalism and spin that are all too often in evidence.  Its website may be accessed here.
