Show Notes
Scottish lawmakers rejected a bill on assisted dying, despite public support, in a deeply emotional and thoughtful debate. The bill aimed to allow terminally ill patients with six months to live to choose a lethal dose of medicine. The issue is global, with places like the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, and New Zealand already allowing assisted dying. The debate highlighted the need for better end-of-life care, with palliative services underfunded compared to hospital care. The close vote keeps the conversation alive on funding care properly as the population ages.
