Changing the law on assisted suicide in Britain - NO!

I note that Lord Falconer the ex lord Chancellor believes we need to change the law in order to cover cases where people go to places like Dignitas to end their lives because of a terminal illness and are assisted by their loved ones in achieving this objective. Under current British law this assistance is illegal and Lord Falconer presumably wants to make a change to make it not illegal. I think this is a very dangerous change to make and is typical of this Government. something is wrong, we need a new law. No we don't the old law is adequate. It is illegal to assist people to commit suicide. This is fine. The Director of Public prosecutions still makes the call as to whther to prosecute or not. So, in cases where no good purpose would be served by a prosecution the DPP could choose to not bring a case. But in cases where it is felt that those assisting were doing so for purposes other than assisting their loved ones then the DPP could elect to prosecute. So, if you persuaded your old confused grandmother to go to Dignitas because you fancied moving into her lovely house then a prsoecution would be right. keep the law. the government by seeking to relax this law opens the door to state mandated euthanasia. i think this choice should be the individual's and not the state. No to Euthanasia by the back door is what I say.
