Quote:
New guidelines over whether people would face prosecution over assisting suicide place closer scrutiny on a suspect's motivation.
Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer, said whether a person acted "wholly compassionately" and not for financial reasons was important.

Well... Those new guidelines seem as clear as mud....
Let's face facts, most people will stand to gain financially from the death of a loved one. Be they an aged uncle, parent or partner/spouse. No matter what way you slice this particular hot cake. If the assister gains from the death, then you can bet your ass you can expect them to come after you wearing rubber gloves and carrying torches.
On the flip side.... Whats to stop a religious person, who happens to work for the DPP from pushing for prosecutions based of their religious beliefs ?
