Lawmakers in Scottish Parliament voted down a bill to legalise assisted dying, rejecting proposals by Liam McArthur that would have allowed terminally ill adults to seek medical help to end their lives. Opponents cited risks of coercion and insufficient safeguards, while supporters argued it would ease suffering. The defeat means Scotland will not become the first part of the United Kingdom to permit assisted dying.

Don’t give up on it, it took decades of trying to get it over the line in Australia and now its legal in every state.
