People with terminal or extremely life-limiting conditions should be allowed to die if they so wish, and the people assisting them should not be subject to prosecution unless there are grounds for suspicion. There is nothing morally correct in forcing mentally healthy but physically unwell people to suffer.

If you don’t mind me asking , when your husband was told he had cancer , did he give up or put up a fight , last person to die in my family of cancer was my uncle , when he was told that he had cancer he said that it , within weeks perfectly fit looking bloke , just wasted away and died with weeks , then I was watching the news and this cancer suffer was given weeks to live , but said I fight it and four years later she alive and run half marathons for charity’s , even though she riddled with cancer .
But coming back to assistant dying why wait to travel when you can do it at home

That seems a feasible option, I guess, even though it would result in even more pain and discomfort added to a terminally ill person's suffering.

What if you're of sound mind, but have zero control of your body and completely unable to do it yourself at home, because you're totally dependent on a carer for your every need?
