Today we celebrate the great feast of the Ascension, a holy day of obligation, commemorating Christ’s ascension to his Father in heaven, forty days after he broke the prison bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld.

A baby elephant named Ellie was discovered alone in the wild in South Africa, having been rejected by his herd due to a severe umbilical abscess and hernia.
Ellie remained lethargic and deeply depressed, showing no will to live. Recognizing that elephants are intensely social creatures, the team introduced him to Duma, a retired service and sniffer dog residing at the sanctuary.
The effect was instantaneous. As soon as they met at the sand pile, Ellie’s demeanor shifted from despair to curiosity. The two became inseparable, with Duma’s playful energy teaching Ellie how to be a joyful calf again. She finally had a chance to heal and enjoy life.

As an Edinburgh doctor working in elderly care medicine, I have written to my Members of the Scottish Parliament urging them to vote against the Assisted Dying Bill.
I can understand why people say they want this choice.
But my central concern is the risk to vulnerable older people: some would choose this not because of unbearable suffering, but because they feel they are a burden on family.
I do not believe safeguards can solve that.
The bill would then mean the state authorising medical participation in the deliberate ending of the lives of patients who, in some cases, do not actually want to die - but feel pressure from others, or feel a duty not to burden their families.
It would be a moral disaster if even one person chose assisted dying for that reason.

Please @ScotParl if you are undecided how to vote, read this. Assisted death is sometimes neither quick nor painless, and natural death with good palliative care can usually be managed to avoid end-of-life trauma. Good palliative care, not killing the dying, is the answer.

We pray for all MSPs who are voting today on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill. Full reflection from Sr Miriam Ruth Ryan on our YouTube.

What to say?
Perhaps this: Collecting sex-disaggregated data on violence against women is already a legal duty.
An international legal duty.
Under a [checks notes] human rights treaty the UK is a party to and that someone who, like Baroness Chakrabarti, was formerly director of a [checks notes] national 'human rights' NGO called Liberty might be expected to be aware of.
Utter travesty.
For some, the betrayal of women's #humanrights seems to know no bounds.

Baroness Chakrabarti spoke firmly in favour of self-ID. What to say....

As in other matters it will be the poor, the disabled, the isolated and women at greatest risk of having their lives ended against their will. Systems of medical and legal oversight have of late compellingly demonstrated their weaknesses. The risks are known and they are unacceptable.

Personal view: In the context of assisted dying, the residual risk of abuse should be zero. Can this ever be achieved? I don't know. But everything I've seen in Scotland over recent years tells me it will be very far from that here for the foreseeable future.

Things the FM is prepared to do to achieve equality for women and girls: host drinks parties. Things the FM is not prepared to do to achieve equality for women and girls: criminalise pimps and sex buyers, remove men from women's prisons, properly fund rape crisis centres.
