A special committee heard this week why a proposal currently being processed through the Scottish Parliament seeking to legalise “assistance” to terminally ill patients who wish to end their lives should not be made law. Prof. Donald Macdonald, who himself was a medical practitioner and surgeon, before being appointed Professor of Practical Theology at the Free Church College, joined other religious leaders at a round table discussion at Holyrood on Tuesday (21st Sept). Dr Macdonald has written a comprehensive paper on the issue, carefully setting out the case against the bill, which can be found by clicking here and scrolling to page 4: Communications Committee
