The Dignitas organisation has said it is "fully supportive" of plans to legalise assisted dying in Scotland, as it accused UK politicians of "outsourcing this issue" to Switzerland where it has helped hundreds of UK residents end their lives.
The not-for-profit organisation, which provides physician-assisted suicide, complained the legal situation on this in the UK was "inadequate and incoherent". With Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur now bidding to change the law in Scotland to permit assisted dying under certain circumstances, Dignitas said his Bill was an "important step forward".
