  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Sophie Turner fears the assisted dying bill could harm people suffering from eating disorders as she called on peers to 'pause' on plans for legislation.

The Game of Thrones actress is fronting a fresh campaign from mental health charities amid fears the law would pose a 'serious risk' to eating disorder patients.

Turner, 29, spoke out as the House of Lords continues to debate the bill which could see assisted dying legalised for terminally ill adults in England and Wales.

Continued below.

Scary! These people need real help and realize that life is worth living. Praying for an end to the culture of death!

House of Lords apparently trying to get in the way....

"Defending the volume of amendments, Baroness Luciana Berger, who opposes assisted dying, told the BBC that evidence heard by a committee of peers scrutinising the legislation "strongly refuted any suggestion this bill is either safe or workable".

"This bill is full of holes which vulnerable people will fall through and be harmed if peers don't act to change and amend it," the Labour peer added."


Peers suggest over 900 changes to assisted dying bill


I pretty much despair of the situation though. I am just too bemused by the numbers of people who think that doctors can and should be trusted, without requiring the doctors to first do no harm, and as a lifelong proud disabled person who is constantly subjected to sympathy I do not want, for a poor quality of life I do not suffer from, it is just downright scary.

Thank you very much to all pro-life believers who pray and campaign peacefully against these wrongs.

We're praying in Church, for it not to become law, and I've written to my MP twice, urging him to vote against it. I know others have written too. There are some of us in England and Wales who see the dangers of it going ahead, including many medical personnel and disability groups.
