Campaign groups have raised their concerns with MSPs over a new proposed Bill on assisted suicide in Scotland, suggesting it poses a significant threat to disabled individuals.
Commentator Matthew Parris has said that if assisted suicide is legalised this would increase pressure on the most vulnerable, but this would be no bad thing.
Scotland's former First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she is minded to vote against controversial assisted suicide legislation laid before the Scottish Parliament last week.
Press release: CARE for Scotland has urged MSPs to oppose new assisted suicide legislation, saying the “right to die” could become a “duty to die”.
