Subject: Re: ...that by nature is not assisted suicide, but murder.

Ferris Bueller: Assisted suicide has been basically decrimilised in the UK. A recent case in court where a mother helped her daughter die with dignity ended in no prosecution. The likes of Terry Pratchett have helped to state the obvious...

.... We put animals down if they are in terrible pain or terminally ill, but humans till now have had to die horribly in the UK or go abroad to countries where sense prevails and folks are allowed to choose to die peacefully.

It's not a case of the person assisting making the choice, but only helping the person who wants to end their suffering to do it.
