The Daily Mail of 10th July reported a vote against euthanasia and assisted dying in the General Synod of the Church of England, of 243 to 1. The Archbishop of Canterbury, for once giving a clear message, said "This is not simply a debate about medical ethics, it's about economic ethics. In a climate where the pressure is all towards a functionalised, reduced style of healthcare provision, this [assisted dying] must be a very, very tempting option to save money and resources."
