My mother has been diagonised today with the big A - she has no wish to have her life terminated and always has been anti-suicide. I came close a few years back for various reasons.......never told her though.
However, I know that I (we) need to respect her wishes and even though I agree with the right to agree to my own termination, I can not be in any position to advocate for her or others.
However, also I can not condone what happened in this programme as, effectively it is illegal in this country and is still classified as self murder. I did live in acountry that some euthanasia is allowed, the Netherlands........
The key point is we need to get the law changed here, with the appropriate checks and balances to ensure total gravitas in the decision - and not rely on the Swiss to do our work....and didn't they recently vote to ban foreign "candidates" from going this route? I missed seeing the outcome of their referendum and haven't googled it, yet.
