Thanks for the comment. Look, it's a tricky one - but at the end of theday I don't think that medical professionals should be involved in killing patients (and it is killing people, not 'easing their pain' or 'ending their suffering', at the base level it's killing people). The reasons for why I think this are long and complicated, but can be boiled down into two points. a) I don't trust doctors (or any medical professional) that much - I know that we make mistakes. b) You need to trust your Dr/nurse/medic - not worry that they are going to give you the needle and 'put you to sleep'. I think that there may be a change in the law warranted for assisting with a suicide, and I'm all for killing yourself should the time come - but I just don't think that it should be a role performed by doctors (or nurse specialists). People come here to read my opinions, I'm not the BBC and I don't even pretend to be un-biased. So I'm afraid I'm going to keep calling them as I see them. Once more - thanks for an interesting comment.
