More than 3,000 medical professionals in the United Kingdom have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Keir Starmer signaling their opposition to the country's move toward legalized assisted suicide, noting that government officials shouldn't consider legalizing assisted death because the National Health Service (NHS) is "broken."
According to The Telegraph, the letter signers include 2,038 doctors, 905 nurses, and 462 other healthcare workers. They warn that without better palliative care, they fear vulnerable people will feel coerced to choose assisted suicide.
