The future impacts of State-assisted dying
You’ll no doubt be aware that campaigners for ‘State-assisted dying’ are calling for a change in the law to allow assisted suicide in Scotland, citing examples from other countries where it has been legalised. As one of your constituents, I believe it’s vital for politicians to consider the future impacts that a change of this magnitude could have on Scotland.
We all want to help people who experience pain and distress at the end of life, but political decisions can be disastrous for future generations. Some of the tragic consequences and dangerous trends are easy to see, because they’re already happening in these other countries.
Would you mind taking a couple of minutes to watch this and letting me know your thoughts about the issue? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxlBCl75gHo
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and better palliative care; ensuring that existing laws against euthanasia and assisted suicide are not weakened or repealed; and helping the public to understand the consequences of any further weakening of the law.
