Assisted suicide

Following the consultation process last year, Margo MacDonald MSP introduced the End of Life Assistance (Scotland) Bill in January. This is now going through the parliamentary committee stage and will likely be debated in the Scottish Parliament in the autumn. If passed in its present form, it would legalise euthanasia and assisted suicide in Scotland.

The majority public opinion favours such legislation. Do you agree with it? Where do you stand on the issue, and how do you decide? What should you do now?

On Tuesday 13th April, from 7.30-9.30pm in the church, Dr Stephen Hutchison, Consultant Physician in Palliative Medicine, will give a presentation about the Bill, and Dr Jamie Grant, Vice Principal at Highland Theological College, will present a theological view.
