okay, two news stories I want to bring up for today:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8270772.stm
^the government is introducing a broadband tax of 50p a month for fixed phone lines
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8270320.stm
^the government has "clarified" the law on assisted suicide
this one, I want to focus on for now, what confuses me, is why its legal for them to go overseas and do it, but its not legal here? surely with the guidelines they have already suggested in place, it may as well be legal her, which would be better as it would save people loads of money, especially if it was on the NHS
guidelines they issued: (from the BBC article above)
Whether a person stands to benefit financially from assisting a suicide or if they were acting out of compassion
If the individual wanting to die was deemed competent enough and had a "clear and settled" wish to make such a decision. Particular attention would paid to issues such as being under 18, and having a mental illness
Whether the person was persuaded or pressured into committing suicide, or if it was their own decision
