First Minister John Swinney has said he will not support a bill which would allow assisted dying in Scotland. Legislation to allow terminally-ill people to take their own life is being put forward at the Scottish Parliament by the Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur and will be voted on by MSPs on 13 May.
