Parliament rejects assisted dying legislation

Speaking to journalists after leaving the chamber, McArthur said he was “devastated” by the result, adding the system “has been failing dying Scots for too long” and that many will feel let down by the result.

@Wen staggering. It's right that MSPs should vote according to their consciences (as they should on *all* matters - abolish whipping 🔥), but I think for many, this is fear rather than morality. The current situation is appalling, and simply saying that nothing can or should be done just now is a cop out. ☹️
