"We're being told this is about compassion, but real compassion doesn't kill. It walks with the vulnerable until their natural end."

- Dr Susan Marriott, Head of Public Policy, Christian Medical Fellowship

There is a cultural and spiritual battle raging across the globe - and it's being fought under the carefully crafted language of 'choice,' 'dignity,' and 'compassion.'

In this gripping episode of Under the Rug, Nalini Tranquim sits down with Dr Susan Marriott, Head of Public Policy at the Christian Medical Fellowship, to expose the truth behind the UK's End of Life Bill - and why the world needs to pay attention.

This isn't just a UK issue. From the United States, where states like New York and Florida are pushing for assisted suicide legislation, to Australia where Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) laws are already in effect across every state, the ripple effect is clear: what becomes law in the first world will eventually bleed into the developing world - often with fewer safeguards and greater danger.

🔥 Key Topics from the Episode:

✅ What the End of Life Bill actually proposes - and why the term 'assisted dying' is dangerously misleading.

✅ The difference between euthanasia and assisted suicide - and where this bill fits.

✅ Why this is spiritual warfare - not just political activism.

✅ What we've learned from Canada, Australia, and the USA - and how quickly the slope becomes slippery.

✅ The myth of 'choice' and 'autonomy' - and how vulnerable people become pressured to die.

"A choice for some becomes a burden for others. What's being framed as freedom is creating silent coercion."

- Dr Susan Marriott

"The world may call it compassion. But the truth? It's convenience."

- Nalini Tranquim

📣 What You Need to Know:

• The bill proposes allowing doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients with a prognosis of 6 months or less - a timeline Dr Marriott says is medically unreliable.
• It's framed as patient autonomy, but there's growing evidence it will disproportionately impact the elderly, disabled, and marginalized - groups already undervalued by society.
• Safeguards are fragile and arbitrary, and history shows they will be slowly eroded. Canada has already extended assisted suicide to people with mental illness alone.
• Healthcare systems will suffer, with palliative care and suicide prevention efforts likely to be deprioritised.

"Once you legalize death as a form of healthcare, you've crossed a line you can't uncross."
