STOP THE ‘KILL’  BILL   - ASK YOUR MP TO STOP THE MENTAL INCAPACITY BILL COMING HERE – and contact other Parliamentary candidates in the General Election.  The Bill , without any amendments was passed in Scotland last year.  If the bill came into force here elderly people would be invited to give Continuing Powers of Attorney to someone to make healthcare decisions for them if they were incapable, EVEN TEMPORARILY SO.  These could include withdrawal of assisted feeding and hydration, so as to cause their death.  Someone who would inherit their money might be empowered to decide it was ‘in their best interest’ for them to die.

The bill also facilitates abortion and sterilisation of young incapacitated people who cannot give formal consent.  The Lord Chancellor has said he will introduce the English version of the Bill when ‘Parliamentary time allows’  THIS COULD BE SOON AFTER THE GENERAL ELECTION.

Refections for Vocations Day. Some definite Service – John Henry Newman   God has created me to do him some definite service; He has committed some work to me, which he has not committed to another. I have my mission – I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told in the next.   I have a great part in this great work;  I am a link in a chain, A bond of connection between two persons.  He has not created me for naught.  I shall do good, I shall do his work; I shall be an angel of peace A preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it, If I do but keep his commandments.  And service him in my calling.   Therefore I will trust him.  Whatever, wherever I am. I can never be thrown away. I ask not to see – I ask not to know – I ask simply to be used.
