Jane Nicklinson is appearing at a conference celebrity cruises panama canal in Edinburgh with Margo MacDonald, who has already tried and failed to make assisted celebrity cruises panama canal suicide celebrity cruises panama canal legal north of the border. The conference, on Friday, will also hear from Ludwig celebrity cruises panama canal Minelli, the founder of Swiss assisted dying organisation celebrity cruises panama canal Dignitas.
Mr Nicklinson, of Melksham, Wiltshire, died in August days after his assisted dying campaign was turned down by the High Court in England. The 47-year-old, who refused food in the days following celebrity cruises panama canal the landmark case, had been paralysed by a stroke in 2005.
Ms MacDonald s original attempt to change the law resulted in a free vote, with no party political obligation, among all MSPs at Holyrood, including government ministers. It was defeated 16-85 in December 2010.
The End of Life Assistance Bill was considered by a specially convened committee which did not support the general principles. Under the MSP s revised plan, Scotland would change the law which currently leaves people open to prosecution for culpable homicide.
Assisted suicide remains a criminal offence in England and Wales, punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Among Ms MacDonald s new proposals is a suggestion that a trained, licensed facilitator celebrity cruises panama canal , a so-called friend at the end , would have to be present when someone is at the point of ending their own life.
I support this - non-disabled people have this right, and so should disabled people who have an illness where their brain is good, but their body stops working. To not have this right is essentially torture.
