Scotland's assisted dying vote nears, with debate over protecting doctors' moral objections amid safety and equity concerns.
Scotland’s final vote on the assisted dying bill approaches, with MSPs divided over whether to retain employment protections for healthcare workers who object on moral grounds.
While MSP Liam McArthur insists the bill includes safeguards and does not force participation, critics including senior palliative care doctors warn of risks to patient safety, equity, and the integrity of end-of-life care.
The Association of Palliative Medicine urges better palliative services instead, citing uneven access across Scotland.
Concerns also mount over removing protections, which could delay implementation via a UK Section 104 order, undermining devolution.
With only a third of doctors confident in the bill’s safe execution, the outcome hinges on balancing patient autonomy with clinical and ethical safeguards.
