I would not blame anyone either.
I would not blame any family member who assisted their loved one......but I am against legislation because I really think it would be open to corruption and before long those who were elderly might be 'encouraged' to shuffle off this mortal coil.
They may be made to feel like they are a burden on society.
Goodness knows there are all kinds of pressure on us grey old biddies.
Like they want us to vacate our homes and live somewhere more appropriate.
Never mind that most of those of my generation saved and did without holidays, new furniture, nights out etc...just so that we could buy our homes.

How long would it be before someone suggested that all those with long term conditions should be taking this road out to save money for those younger members of society?

If my father had wanted to die, I would no doubt have helped him...but he didn't.....he hoped that someone would come up with some miracle treatment and he would have been the first in line to try it.....he had so many things that he wanted to see and do.
