Let's keep Scotland safe for the people we love.
MSP Liam McArthur (Scottish Liberal Democrat, Orkney) has lodged proposals for an Assisted Dying Scotland Members Bill. It is expected to begin its passage through Holyrood in March 2024.
No one wants people to suffer at the end of life.
But the reality of assisted suicide is very different from the image depicted by its supporters.
In countries that have legalised so-called assisted dying, safeguards are swiftly eroded, and the most vulnerable are put at risk. In recent months, reports have emerged of marginalised Canadians seeking an 'assisted death' due to poverty, disability and homelessness.
With living costs soaring, Scotland cannot afford a regime that leads people to choose death out of fear of poverty or homelessness.
