for the vast majority the law is fine you can end your life when and how you wish as long as you plan don't make a fuss and don't involve people who will directly benefit

and as a family you can arrange to alleviate the suffering and in most cases how someone dies

the media and some campaigners make it seem like that you can not end your life or help some one die with dignity now but this is far from the truth you just have to follow the rules

and it allows investigation to prevent outright abuse

if however some one has i signed piece of paper saying they wish to die i very much doubt there will ever be any checking done

which how ever cruel that is to a very few who may not be able to use the law as it stands is the way it needs to be

you can never make it so its fair to absolutely every one no mater what you do but changing this would put far more at a disadvantage than it would help
