MSPs have approved an amendment allowing doctors to raise the option of assisted suicide with patients




MSPs have approved an amendment allowing doctors to raise the option of assisted suicide with patients.

MSPs have decided that death certificates should list the underlying illness rather than the administration of lethal drugs, as the cause of death in cases of assisted suicide.

The Holyrood committee has already DISMISSED the following proposed safeguards:

▪ Limiting eligibility to those with six months or less to live.
▪ Excluding cases driven by intellectual disability or eating disorders.
▪ Ensuring decisions are not influenced by poverty or inadequate housing.

✅ Please use the Care Not Killing Scotland online tool to update your MSPs on these deeply troubling developments. Go to https://carenotkilling.scot/

Follow Catholic Parliamentary Office for Scotland for updates.
