The Telegraph reported on June 26, 2025 that the US State Department stated that the British Parliament passing of the Leadbeater assisted suicide bill is "supporting state-subsidised suicide."
We are also asking our supporters to urge New York Governor Kathy Hochul to veto the New York assisted suicide bill that passed in the New York Assembly on April 29, 2025 and in the New York Senate on June 9, 2025. The bill has not been signed by Governor Hochul yet.
The British assisted suicide bill passed on June 20, 2025 by a vote of 314 to 291 and will soon be debated in the British House of Lords.
The Telegraph reported that the US State Department sent this message to the British Parliament:
“As the UK Parliament considers support for state-subsidised suicide, euphemistically called a Bill for ‘terminally ill adults’ the United States reaffirms the sanctity of life,” the US bureau of democracy, human rights and labour said.
“The Western world should stand for life, vitality and hope over surrender and death.”
The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition is pleased with the clear statement from the US State Department.

Medical Assisted Suicide is, ultimately, a form of Social Darwinism and Eugenics. However, this statement is the height of hypocrisy coming from a United States government controlled by right wing billionaires who plan to gut the already inadequate social services that enable the poor, disabled, and elderly the resources that they need to live (thus condemning millions to death). Medical Assisted Suicide fits neatly into their agenda- and it will be the last desperate resort for many if that agenda is not stopped. We must oppose MAS for what it is and also the underlying cruelty and injustice that enables it- everywhere. - Joan Cavanagh, Progressives Against Medical Assisted Suicide
