Ex-Church of England Head Backs Assisted Dying
Saturday, 12 Jul 2014 08:26 AM
LONDON — A former head of the Church of England says he no longer opposes assisted dying and says
the church risks "promoting anguish and pain" by objecting to moves
to make it legal.
George Carey, a former archbishop
of Canterbury,
said medical advances have created an "ethical turning point."
In an article published Saturday,
Carey said he would back proposed legislation to allow doctors to prescribe a
lethal dose to terminally ill patients judged to have less than six months to
live. The House of Lords will debate
the bill Friday.
Carey's position is at odds with
the official position of the Church of England, which has consistently argued
against a change in the law.

House of Lords
Of the 42 diocesan archbishops
and bishops in the Church of England, 26 are permitted to sit in the House of
Lords. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York automatically have seats, as do the Bishops of
London, Durham and Winchester. The remaining 21 seats are filled
in order of seniority by consecration. It may take a diocesan bishop a number
of years to reach the House of Lords, at which point he becomes a Lord
Spiritual. The Bishop of Sodor and Man and the Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe
are not eligible to sit in the House of Lords as their dioceses lie outside the
United Kingdom.
