What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to ensure all future legislation on assisted dying includes provisions for access to assisted dying for anyone of adult age suffering from a long-term mental illness, and/or who has compelling philosophical reasons for wanting to terminate their lives, provided they:
* have sought psychological or psychiatric assistance, which resulted in no change to their condition; and
* continue to have consenting capacity.
