http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-23746244The context of that one will be very important, though the difference in age of the two suspects is curious.

The problem is that the man might be deemed unable to make the decision.

The suggestion over the difference in age is due to the arrested people being the man's wife and child, in which case that's perfectly acceptable. Whether or not he is capable of making the decision while in the early stages of dementia would be assessed pretty carefully by the people involved with Dignitas. It's not just a case of turning up, paying your money and away you go, for a start, the person themselves has to take the drink to end their life, nobody else is allowed to assist.

Also a doctor here would have diagnosed dementia. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted. Mine is bordering on seven seconds." https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTg5MzczNTkhttp://astore.amazon.co.uk/wwwx404couk-21

If the man is passed as mentally fit then there is nothing to stop him (and his family) leaving the country and going to Switzerland.
Just a shame that he has to leave this country if he wants to end his life.

he just needs to get reclassified as a dog. Then he can have a dignified assisted death in the UK. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4 _________________Finally joined Flickr
