it doesnt do that now suicide is not illegal in this country the "Suicide Act 1961" took away the offense
and i m sorry but if you have a sound mind it should be easy to arrange inside the current frame wok to take your life and not have a risk of prosecution its not hard
any one with a long term condition which meant couldn't do the act are really the only ones who could theoretically get their chosen helper into trouble but if they followed what i said in previous answer and went abroad i cant see there even then would be much if any chance of a prosecution taking place
what some are asking for is a pre decision now that i find really scary
just imagine the long suffering ( for they go through almost as much as the ill person ) getting a nice piece of paper saying they wont be prosecuted in the matter of any future death of their partner
they go to the other country but the partner decides they are not really ready but the helper has had enough and kills them what do you do now where would the protection be then
plus once in pace do you really want to see these headlines here
