It's a no-brainer for anybody who has had to witness a loved one fade away, losing life and losing dignity.

I have done so now on 5 occasions ( grandfather father close family friend my father in law and grandfather in law )and I still don’t think this should be brought into law
as it stands very few get taken to court and those that do in the vast majority of cases are let off with minimal or no sentence BUT that check is needed
It would be far too easy for unscrupulous family members to persuade elderly relatives that this is what they should do
I would make an exception if the person helping was willing to forgo any financial gain they would gain through the persons passing
Also I would do is make it harder for people to complain about a Doctor giving pain relief that may in the course of reliving pain cause death which imho is why this subject is being brought forward more often now
