The Former Archbishop of Canterbury says legalising assisted dying in Guernsey would not be 'un-Christian'.

The issue was discussed in Guernsey's States earlier this year after a petition, led by the Chief Minister, received enough signatures to be debated.

Many celebrities, and groups including DIGNITAS, backed the plans, but some opposed the idea - including the Guernsey branch of the British Medical Association and Church leaders.

But now former Archbishop George Carey says Christians should care for people at the end of life.
