In the coming weeks, the Scottish Parliament will decide if it backs plans to allow people to have an assisted death. The bill, brought forward by Liberal Democrat Liam McArthur, will be the third time the issue has been voted on in Holyrood. But, unlike previous occasions, the outcome is tough to call.

The bill is centred around allowing terminally ill people in Scotland to be assisted in their death.
