A Conversation on Assisted Dying Hosted by Jim Dickson MP

Assisted Dying – Time For Change?

Later this month, the House of Commons will debate legislation that would give terminally ill adults in England and Wales the right to choose to end their lives.

Ahead of the debate on the Bill in Parliament, I'm holding an event to hear from expert speakers on both sides of the debate as well as you, the constituents of Dartford.

This is a complex issue, so it's important to me that I hear the facts from experts and your views before the debate.

The event will give you a chance to listen to speakers from Care Not Killing and Dignity In Dying who will present arguments for and against changing the law surrounding assisted dying and give an overview of how this could work. You'll then get a chance to share your views with me and ask questions that you have to the speakers.

Who are the Speakers?

Care Not Killing - Dr Mark Pickering

• Spokesperson for the Care not Killing Alliance
• CEO of the Christian Medical Fellowship
• Local Secure Environment GP

Dignity in Dying - Simon Sanberg

• Spokesperson for Dignity in Dying
• Joined the campaign following the assisted dying of friend in Switzerland 9 years ago

Important Information

As I'm keen to hear the opinions of my constituents, this event is for Dartford constituents only. My team will monitor the addresses of those purchasing tickets to make sure that only those who live in Dartford attend the event. If you're unsure if you're a Dartford resident, you can check here.

The location of the event will be announced to ticketholders ahead of the meeting taking place.
