Care Not Killing

Care Not Killing is an alliance of multiple groups, including faith-based and pro-life organisations, opposed to legalising euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide in the United Kingdom.

[2] The stated goals of Care Not Killing include promoting more and better palliative care, ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed during the lifetime of the current Parliament, influencing the balance of public opinion against any weakening of the law.

As of 2024, ODOC campaigns are administered by Gillian Wright, a former palliative care doctor based in Scotland and David Randall, a consultant nephrologist working in London.

It shares an office address and spokesperson with the Christian Medical Fellowship, an evangelical organisation with an anti-abortion stance, and receives funding from the religious lobby group Care (Christian Action, Research and Education), which is known for its opposition to abortion, sex education, gay marriage and broader LGBTQ+ rights.

[14]In 2021, The Times newspaper reported Care Not Killing received a donation of almost £90,000 from Brian Souter, the Scottish businessman and Stagecoach Group founder who has funded multiple socially conservative campaigns including those against abortion and the repeal of anti-gay legislation.
