A number of Christian leaders in Scotland have urged MSPs to “protect the vulnerable” and vote against the upcoming assisted dying Bill.

The group, which spans several Christian denominations in Scotland, called for MSPs to instead consider other options such as palliative care, stating Liam McArthur MSP’s Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill is open for people to be coerced into ending their lives.
