As the Scottish Parliament prepares to vote on plans to legalise assisted dying, families have spoken out about their view on the controversial bill.
The proposal, tabled by Liberal Democrat MSP Liam McArthur, would allow terminally-ill adults to seek medical help to end their lives.
Supporters include Tricia Donoghue, who watched her husband suffer for months after he was diagnosed with a rare form of bile duct cancer.
However opponents fear the bill could endanger vulnerable members of society who might feel like a burden to their caregivers.
The proposed legislation would allow a patient to request medical help to end their life if they had a terminal illness and had been ruled mentally fit to make the decision by two doctors.
The stage one vote is on the general principles of the bill, and another vote on the final draft of the bill would be held before it could become legislation.
