Assisted Dying Bill - Scotland

I have reservations about this bill. Anything to do with ending a life, is brought in with triple lock wording and rules and regulations. It takes about twenty years for a bill to be corroded. Abortion when first brought in, came with rules and restrictions. IE it could only be performed by a doctor in a hospital, etc,etc. Now 20 years later, you can get tablets, go home and do a diy abortion. If this bill is brought in, it will be today’s 50+ years, in 20 years time. Will families be able to get some tablets and do a diy euthanasia on a relative, who they think has ‘no quality of life, through maybe dementia, bad arthritis etc, etc. Be careful what you wish for.

Bring it on..

I agree that it's time things changed but fear they never will. People go to Dignitas and shorten what little time they have left so they can die with dignity.

I agree Caleo. Of course we do have that right if we are able to take matters into our own hands, but cannot ask for help. High time things changed.

Very thought provoking and informative. Thank you FN.

Everyone dies . It's terrible that we do not have the right to dying with dignity when, where, and how we choose.

Thanks for the link and info, will look at it with interest.
