Indeed, though for balance we can also be inhumane to both animals & humans.
Nor can I imagine the trauma involved in ending your after surviving many months of enduring great pain, unable to recognise family members/loved ones, and exhausting all your asssets in care home fees.
The woman in this case risks prosecution, for merely assisting her husband in carrying out his last wish.
We have legislation which has been delayed while going through Parliament.
One of the most important bits of the legislation is obviously to provide protection for vulnerable people avoiding exploitation by family members that wish to inherit sooner rather than later.
It was initially proposed that a judge would be involved which was considered adequate protection by the majority.
It appears our legal profession pointed out that this would not be possible, without tying up the legal system.
The legislation was subsequently amended, but many experts are of the opinion that the amended legislation is unlikely to through.
Therefore back to square one.
Incidentally this case would not qualify under the proposed legislation as the man involved did noth have 6 months or less to live.
I think that you have to admire the courage of the woman in this case.
There appears to be no hint of any exploitation, and it seems pretty certain that it was the mans last wish.
I hope that common sense will prevail and there is not a prosecution.
Although this might set a precedent, which opens the door for the vulnerable to be exploited.
