I will be voting for the Assisted Dying Bill this evening.
This bill is about choice ; it`s about giving people the dignity on how they die .
It`s about reducing suffering
I vote for those and give them the compassionate death they deserve
My vote give us all that choice

Deeply saddened to see the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill fall tonight.
Holyrood was founded to improve the lives of the people of Scotland but tonight it chose not to extend dignity, compassion and choice to terminally ill people.

This is absolutely superb from @lornaslater 👏
I simply cannot fathom why anyone would deny others this dignity and comfort.

As a GP and MSP, I believe that the assisted dying bill offers a safe, compassionate choice for those whose pain cannot be relieved. My article in @heraldscotland explains why. heraldscotland.com/politics/…

In two days, Holyrood faces a defining vote on the Assisted Dying Bill. It has been robustly scrutinised and contains strong safeguards.
In my @Sunday_Mail column today, I explain why I’m voting yes to dignity, autonomy and compassion for terminally-ill people in Scotland. 🏴

I stand in support of the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults Bill.
I’ve long believed that compassion and choice must guide how we support those facing the end of their life.

💬 “I wish I had done things differently.”
It’s something we hear often from landowners after conflict has emerged. The key? Early engagement, transparency, and active listening.
Our latest blog explores why these simple principles are so powerful, and how they can help prevent conflict before it begins.

After 5 years, it's time for someone else to take on this role which has a very real impact on how land is owned, managed and used in Scotland. Whilst I'm looking forward to moving to South America, I'm also going to really miss this job and everyone I work with!

"I’m asking MSPs to vote for this Bill because no one should have to watch someone they love beg for a peaceful death and be denied it.
My mum wanted to go to Switzerland but couldn’t — and the trauma of her final days may never go away.
Please don’t let others go through what we did. This is your chance to show compassion."
- Jason Robertson

So grateful to everyone who’s come along to the Scottish Parliament this morning, to demonstrate to MSPs why Scotland urgently needs a change in the law on assisted dying. #ScotsForDignity

The current ban on assisted dying harms dying people and their loved ones.
“My dad died from MND, pleading for a choice he never had. No one should be forced to suffer like that. Please don’t turn your back on families like mine." - Jenny Forrest, Stirling

In many countries around the world, an assisted death is a valued and normal option as part of palliative care. A very moving tribute to the relationship between patient, family, and doctor.
11.4% of deaths in Vancouver Island are assisted. #WFRtDS2024 #WRtDS2024
