Listened to a man speaking about this on Radio5 Live drive.He said his view had changed and that adults of a sound mind and who could communicate properly should be allowed the option.The people concerned do not want to die but they do not want the life they have, which is intolerable due to pain etc,to continue any longer.I think a proper debate is the only sensible course of action.

It isn't always only pain though, is it?
It's not being able to take yourself to the toilet....having someone else help and clean you.....not being able to wash or bathe......having to be shaved....your teeth cleaned.....
DB....I have had to do that for someone I loved.....the pain..and there is pain...he coped with....that he didn't.
It's having no choices in how you live....
Of course we should have assisted suicide.

I'm sure there will be safeguards, DB.....and "old age" won't be accepted... on it's own...as a reason for assisted suicide....
But so many who want to die are younger people with the most awful of illnesses....

I've recently done some work for a guy with MS. The only thing he could do for himself was use a specially adapted TV remote and drink with a straw. It made my problems seem trivial. O had a phone call from his carer last week, one of the relief carers had nicked his laptop...

Had to watch my father die of Prostrate cancer and my mother in law die of Alzheimers. Until you have seen these things at close hand you cannot appreciate the suffering. For my father it was the pain, in the end he refused the drugs apart from pain killers to die faster. The pain killers never worked properly. My mother in law had to suffer the indignation of sitting in filth, the house was wrecked along with my wife who had to look after her. No help from the State, my mother in law being a proud woman along with her husband had saved from their meager income, what a mistake that was. Eventually she had a heart attack thank goodness to end her suffering.
A very good friend of mine lives just down the road from Dignitas. My wife and I have promised each other we would go to visit my friend if at all possible if the worst happens. It should not have to be like that though.
