Scotland may vote on legalizing assisted dying tonight

A crucial vote is set to take place in the Scottish Parliament this evening on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, which could make Scotland the first UK country to legalize assisted dying. The bill requires individuals to be terminally ill, over 18, and approved by two doctors before they can receive assistance in ending their lives. Despite considerable public support, it faces opposition from prominent political figures and organizations that have raised concerns about safety and coercion.
