Scottish politicians are debating a new law that would permit assisted dying for terminally ill individuals. MP Liam McArthur advocates for this law, emphasizing the need for compassion and choice for those facing horrendous deaths. He highlights that over 300 million people worldwide live under similar laws that are effective, including recent implementations in the Isle of Man. However, opposition exists, notably from disability rights activists like Liz Carr, who stress the need for support and resources for those with disabilities. The debate represents a pivotal moment for the rights of terminally ill individuals in Scotland.
We can't continue to leave this issue in the too difficult' box. That would be unforgivable.
McArthur emphasized the need for compassionate choice and pointed out that voting against the bill would deny terminally ill individuals the rights they deserve.
