THE Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill was lodged in Holyrood last week. Sponsored by LibDem MSP Liam McArthur, the bill builds on the work of the late Margo MacDonald in past parliaments. If passed, the bill would create a legal framework for terminally ill adults to be provided with assistance to end their own life in Scotland.
