Well if this is the case then we already have circumstances in which we deem it acceptable to allow for assisted suicide. Why not make these enshrined in law so that families don't have the stress and the CPS do not have the difficulty in making calls for what is in the public interest or not. To say 'we might prosecute, we might not' is clearly already messy. It's also clear that many patients don't have confidence in such a system, hence them taking their right to die case to court.
