Two-thirds of Scots believe that the law should be changed to allow assisted suicide, a poll for The Sunday Times has revealed. Most people said they backed legislation proposed by Margo MacDonald, the independent MSP, to give people who are terminally ill the right to end their lives with the help of a doctor. MacDonald, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, is to lodge her End of Life Choices (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish parliament next month. So far, it has attracted the support of 21 MSPs, writes Jason Allardyce and Mark Macaskill in The Sunday Times
