Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill

CMF recognises the good intention behind this Bill namely, to protect citizens in Scotland from having to face a prolonged and painful death. However, we do not agree with the proposed solution – to legalise assisted dying. In our view, it cannot be right to attempt to solve issues around end-of-life care by assisting patients to kill themselves. We believe, with H L Menken, that ‘there’s always an easy solution to every human problem – neat, plausible and wrong.‘
