MSPs should not sanction the progress of this Bill which is not fit for purpose.
… with massive opposition from Scots aged 18-24, new poll finds
CNK criticises ‘flawed’ process which exceed Holyrood powers & are reserved to Westminster
“This Bill is much too important to have any shadows of doubt hanging over the work of the scrutinising committee… Five members of that committee added their names in support of the proposal for the Bill.”
The language of legislation is everything. McArthur claims it’s a “tight” bill with strong safeguards when in fact it’s a wide bill that lets doctors and nurse practitioners kill disabled people who are not terminally ill.
Care Not Killing was set up in 2006 as an alliance of individuals and organisations which brings together disability and human rights groups, healthcare providers, and faith-based bodies, with the aims of promoting more and better palliative care; ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed; and helping the public to understand the consequences of any further weakening of the law.
