Assisted dying

A friend's wife recently went backto Austraila to celebrate her mum's birthday and say farewell a few day's later.

Her mother, at the age of 88, was obviously getting more frail, but still had all her mental faculties and had made the decision to take advantage of Queensland's new laws on assisted dying.

Two days after he 88th birthday, her two daughters were with her at the hospital as she was euthanised. One daughter sat with her while the other (my friend's wife) found that a bit too much and had to leave the room for the act.

This subject is coming up in the UK, with Keir Starmer having promised a vote on it to Ester Rantzen, the broadcaster diagnosed with terminal cancer.

What do people feel about this? Is this a way people would like to go themselves? People they know?
