In order to keep our supporters in touch with our activities Sian Vasey, a Not Dead Yet UK supporter has launched a new video blog which we hope will become a regular part of our campaign to resist changes to the assisted dying law.

Here is the text of the Blog
Hello, my name is Sian Vasey and this is a news blog from Not Dead Yet UK. Not dead yet is the network of disabled people opposed to the legalisation of assisted dying.
We work with other groups to make the opposition case against change in the law. Last year, we led on disabled peoples’ participation in demonstrations held outside the House of Lords during the debate on Lord Falconer’s Bill. We also put people forward for a vast amount of media coverage because we want disabled people to be very visible in the debate.
This news blog aims to keep people connected during the gaps between these busy times. We’ll keep you updated on what other groups such as Care Not Killing and Dying and Living Well are doing and also what’s happening in other countries where assisted dying or, as we believe it should be called, assisted suicide, has actually been made legal.
We want to keep you informed and we need your ideas and your stories. Why are you opposed to assisted dying? We need to know you’re out there and we want you to be part of what we’re doing, so please contact us through the Not Dead yet website or on Facebook via Liz Carr’s Facebook page.
We’ll get the next block to you very soon, so do keep a lookout.
By for now.
