Assisted Suicide Bill Risks Disabled Rights
Faith Facts
- A leading legal voice warns Scotland’s assisted suicide bill discriminates against people with certain disabilities.
- The proposed law has been called inadequate in protecting the most vulnerable, raising concerns about human rights and equality.
- Christian leaders and public officials urge lawmakers to take action to preserve dignity and the sanctity of life.
A senior legal expert argues that Scotland’s push to legalize assisted suicide puts disabled individuals at risk, undermining their God-given dignity and infringing upon cherished rights.
Tom Cross KC, in his legal analysis for The Christian Institute, states the bill would unjustly impact those with disabilities who experience suicidal thoughts, in violation of the right to life.
“The time for ensuring that the bill protects the most vulnerable is during its passage through Parliament.”
“It is inadequate, on analysis, to adopt a ‘wait and see’ approach, by which the State may come to learn in due course whether rights of its citizens have been violated. By that time the bill will be law, and the horse will have bolted.”
Simon Calvert, Deputy Director of The Christian Institute, urges members of the Scottish Parliament to heed these warnings so that the lives of the vulnerable are truly protected.
“This stark warning about discrimination against disabled people embedded in this terrible Bill must surely force MSPs into action – especially those who voted in favour of the Bill at Stage 1 earlier this year.”
He highlights that the bill fails to ensure proper assessment of whether a desire for assisted suicide is linked to a disability, making it a moral issue that demands a faith-based perspective on life’s value.
MSP Pam Duncan-Glancy and First Minister John Swinney have both voiced strong concerns, emphasizing that lawmakers must address the risks posed to disabled citizens’ rights and equality.
Now is the time for believers to pray and encourage legislators to defend life and uphold Christian principles in shaping Scotland’s future.

- Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox encourages believers to share their faith with confidence.
- Lennox stresses that evangelism is not reserved only for preachers, theologians, or those with extensive biblical knowledge.
- Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ in daily life.
Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox is urging believers everywhere to share their faith with greater boldness and confidence. He reminds Christians that the call to witness is not limited to pastors or scholars but belongs to every follower of Christ.
“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
Professor Lennox emphasizes that evangelism is not about having every theological answer or delivering polished sermons. Instead, it is about living out and speaking the truth of Christ wherever God places His people.
His words come as a timely encouragement to Christians who may feel hesitant or unqualified to speak about their faith. Lennox points to the biblical calling that every believer is a witness, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the hope within them.
