Assisted dying Bill reaches final stage at Holyrood
MSPs consider 328 amendments to a bill allowing assisted dying for terminally ill adults, with 81% public support, ahead of a final vote scheduled for March 17.
- MSPs are preparing to vote on amendments to a Bill that would legalize assisted dying for terminally ill people in Scotland, with safeguards such as requiring confirmation by two medical professionals.
- The proposed legislation has faced scrutiny for five years and has raised concerns over potential pressure on vulnerable people, but proponents argue it includes safeguards against coercion.
- While some form of assisted dying is legal in countries like Australia and Canada, opinion among Scottish politicians remains divided on whether to support the Bill.
