I've never argued life is life btw, quite the opposite, some of the examples I've highlighted in this thread a're truely heart breaking but for everyone of them there's another from someone relatively healthy and they're not always from abroad either, there was a nasty tale from this country where a young woman abused the living will system to kill herself whilst medical staff could do nothing but watch.
We haven't done enough with improving palliative care to even consider this yet imo and that will be something good that comes out of this whole debate, it can't help but improve palliative care no matter what road we eventually go down.

Well, you've quoted some pretty ridiculous examples of how your 'Johnny Foreigner' people can get it so badly wrong.
We Brits are better than that! Proper legislative scrutiny would ensure that the likes of such malpractice would not occur without murder charges swiftly following. If necessary, it may be necessary to have a judge's ruling.
