It's such a difficult issue. I do support people who help their suffering relatives to die, however I'm scared that if the law was ever changed to reflect that then too many people would get rid of "inconvenient" family members, either because the couldn't be bothered dealing with them any more or they wanted to get their hands on their money or houses or whatever. I don't even know what to think. Obviously I don't want that scenario to happen, but I also think it's a disgrace that that poor woman who assisted her sick son's suicide is now doing jail time. Sigh.
