Scotland’s assisted dying bill, backed by MSP George Adam, aims to provide terminally ill, mentally competent adults with dignity and choice, requiring strict safeguards.
SNP MSP George Adam, whose wife Stacey has multiple sclerosis and other chronic conditions, supports Scotland’s assisted dying bill, emphasizing it’s about providing dignity and choice for terminally ill, mentally competent adults.
While both Adam and his wife back the legislation, he admits he’s unsure if he’d be emotionally able to consent to assisted dying for Stacey if she ever requested it.
The bill, backed by Liam McArthur and the Cross-Party Group on End of Life Choices, requires strict safeguards, including two doctor certifications, and applies only to those with terminal illnesses, not disability or age.
Critics question its safeguards, but supporters argue it offers a compassionate option to prevent unnecessary suffering.
