Supporters of assisted dying have said the defeat of a Bill at Holyrood has “strengthened” their desire for a change in the law.

Leighanne Baird-Sangster had backed Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur’s bid to legalise assisted dying for terminally ill Scots after watching both her wife Gill and her sister Victoria die from cancer.
