[Margaret Pilkington]

Spot on Heth!
We love our familiy, we do not want them to die, but we have to accept that it is inevitable.
I think dying with dignity(and I know that is very subjective - each individual will have their own idea of what dignity means to them) after having lived a useful and productive life, having left the world a better place because of your living has got to be the better way to go.

I do not think those who help a family member to end their life should be prosecuted....as long as it can be shown that the person they helped had expressed the wish to die..... a living will.
