The system I have in mind, would be to have medically qualified people (preferably several) should be involved, to judge people's condition and suffering. I'd like to keep the family far away in the decision and actual procedure. Having a panel of GPs involved should also stop cases like the one in the DM (though that should be taken with a pinch of salt as it is the DM).

I took it to mean all cases, iirc focus in the article was placed on a disabled woman who wanted to know if her husband would be prosecuted if he took her to.Switzerland, here's a slightly better article and if it doesn't include cases in this country I think it probably should.

I wouldn't be in favour of your system, its to.regulated, personally I don't want this to become so normal committees are set up, if we have this imo it has to be so rare it is news, perhaps Damien is right and it does need to be debated but I just have no faith in our politicians to undertake such an important issue.
