A Lanarkshire woman whose dad researched ways to take his own life has welcomed a vote by MSPs to introduce a members bill on assisted dying to the Scottish Parliament.
Back in June this year Joanne Easton, 42, from Wishaw recounted the suffering her terminally ill dad had to endure after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
She visited Holyrood where she addressed MSPs urging them to back the introduction of Lib Dem Liam McArthur’s proposals for assisted dying and this week they voted in favour.
