Good response from Inclusion Scotland: 'Inclusion Scotland believes that the Assisted Suicide Bill will begin a journey that ends in an accepted culture of "mercy killing" of disabled people. Legalising premature death of disabled people undermines their right to support to live with dignity and the State's responsibility to ensure their access to support and care services. If this Bill succeeds, despair at disabling conditions will be endorsed as a reasonable expectation for which early state-sanctioned death is an effective remedy.'
