New figures from the campaign group My Death My Decision has revealed that 30% of people who travel to Switzerland for an assisted death, do so without the police's knowledge. Assisting a suicide in England and Wales is punishable by up to 14 years in jail, however there are some who think it is time to reform the law. Dr Henry Marsh and Dr Mark Pickering debate the issue.

also, you're a christian doctor. what if i don't believe in God. what then? I'm not a Christian, so why does your god have a right to determine how i die?

you should have a choice if its a terminal diagnosis.lets put it to a vote

[bilbofaggin]

unless you have experienced a situation in which your darling family member or friend is suffering, I don't think you have the right to a view on this. I have seen family members die in an undignified and agonising way. People deserve to die in the way they feel to be right, and we can protect peoples' rights and also allow them control over their own death.

I believe being dead is better than being alive and I’ve had depression before but I know God doesn’t want me dead and he still has plans for me in this world. I don’t chase after the world anymore and I follow Jesus. It’s Jesus that gives me joy not this world.
