Assisted dying backed by MSPs
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
A proposal to legalise assisted dying has been backed in principle by MSPs.
The BBC’s Kirsten Campbell explains why the bill, brought forward by Liberal Democrat Liam McArthur (pictured), won’t necessarily become law. And MSPs Patrick Harvie and Pam Duncan-Glancy (also pictured) tell us why they voted for and against it respectively.
