If Scotland legalises assisted suicide, it will fundamentally and irrevocably change the nature of medical practice and could lead to euthanasia.
Our Duty of Care invites health professionals to this evening event in Glasgow with Professor David Galloway hosting Professor Leonie Herx for a discussion about the Canadian experience of their Medical Assistance in Dying law, and the lessons that Scotland needs to take seriously from it.
There will be an opportunity for questions and answers for those attending the event in-person.
