Care or careless?

Discussion of the Assisted Dying Bill could well do without the superstitious input of CARE for Scotland (Friends of the Scotsman, 2 December).

Mr Veitch devoted about one-third of his column to rehearsing ancient Biblical texts about the sanctity of human life, apparently by a divine hand but in fact the scribbling of ancient Jewish scribes who thought they knew their god’s thinking. These texts have absolutely no relevance to modern secular society, nor to the Assisted Dying Bill.

CARE may be a “Friend of The Scotsman” but they are no friend of Scotland.
