They keep trying and I'm happy to say that the law keeps them alive and in d
In this poor buggers case though I really feel for the poor soul but I have to agree with Dingerr. I doubt a jury could be found that would convict find his wife guilty without being instructed to do so by a judge if she assisted his death.

The way you articulate & succinctly explain government policy so eloquently, you must be Andy Coulson`s successor as Communications Director at No. 10.

To let even one person legally kill themselves by 'assisted suicide' which is effectively murdering someone with their compliance, is to open the doors to an increase of assisted death. Look at the caricature the abortion laws have become, started with the noblest intentions, noe the doc's draw is stuffed with presigned authorisations.

As far as I know, nobody so far has been convicted in circumstances similar to these. The fact that they will stand trial and could be convicted serves to make the killer stop and consider very carefully before they act.

Holland legalised it and in 2003 there were 1626 cases reported, 2010 3136-4050 reported, with the campaign for death on request for the over 70s who are tired of life.

'Come on ma, your 78, your eyes are failing, you don't have your own teeth anymore, do it for the family, this house is worth a mint, you wouldn't let your own grandkids miss out? Just sign here, and here, and here on the pink copy, thanks ma, the doctor will see you now.'

Give it time and mentally ill, and those deemed to be unlikely to have an enjoyable productive life will be included.

I feel sorry for the guy in question, but if his family are really that passionate about it, then do it, take your day in court, and let justice take its course.

Spot on. It's not that he just wants to die. He wants someone to kill him, and that's a different thing altogether. It's not that long ago (certainly within living memory ) that suicide was a criminal offence - although, presumably, tricky to prosecute, but whatever.

Pressure on old foilks, whether self-induced or otherwise, will be immense, to jump off the edge, and leave the money to the kids.

That's my thoughts, why lose the inheritance on those nursing home fees?

Aye. There's not a jury in the land that would convict if someone put a loved one out of their misery provided that the person involved had made that wish known.

It's terribly messy but it works (ish)

Dingerr, I understand if you don't want to answer but I'll ask:

With your injuries, did you ever contemplate what this chap is fighting for? It's not something I can really comprehend.

I remember the days when Chubb would have been all over this post like a tramp on chips. This place is going to the dogs.

Oh how I miss her PM's asking advice about intermittent self catheterisation.

[/Sensible Mode] If I understand the court ruling what they are saying is that as the law stands at the moment assisting in a suicide is illegal and that to change that requires an Act of Parliament. It's a pity the courts are not more inclined to think that way when it comes to the human rights of terrorists and other people who should not be in this country. In my view it is time for parliament to act. [/Sensible Mode]

[/Arrse Mode] One might think that dignity and self determination of by an individual are human rights but the 2 chaps in this case have failed to be black, disabled, lesbian or muslim so don't really qualify for human rights.

"Not disabled?" you say, "how much more fucking disabled do you want the poor sod to be?" unfortunately he has set himself against the disabled right mafia orthodox views and therefore has lost his right to be considered as disabled.[/Arrse Mode]

[/Rant Mode] I've been quite sickened to listen to the various christian and disabled groups who profess mock sympathy for Mr Nicklinson and 'Martin' but deny them any rights and autonomy and are happy to condemn them to what they say is an intolerable life or even worse they are happy to see them starve themselves to death so that they can continue in their disgusting hypocrisy.
