MSPs on the Scottish Parliament’s Health Committee have voted to allow doctors to initiate discussions about assisted suicide under the proposed Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill. This follows the rejection of several key safeguards designed to protect vulnerable people — including limits on eligibility, protections for those affected by poverty or poor housing, and transparency around complications from lethal drugs.

Allowing doctors to raise assisted suicide unprompted marks a serious shift in the doctor–patient relationship and increases the risk of subtle pressure being placed on those who are already vulnerable.
