There was no treatment that could improve his condition and no hope of recovery.
Dan was a young man whose life had been taken away from him. Independent, sporting, active, he was suddenly as dependent upon his parents as a newborn child.
Why should that young man have to endure the unendurable? Who claims the moral authority to say he doesn't have the right to terminate the living hell of his existence?
No doubt Daniel felt like he was a terrible burden on his loving parents, Mark and Julie James. And no doubt every waking moment of his life was a wretched reminder of everything that had been taken away from him.
Daniel's parents have been told that they will not face prosecution for helping their son to die at the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland.

They murdered their own child. I can't believe it.
And seem offended that many aren't cheering.
A child that is a unique being the likes of which will never be born again. People believe only in the importance of pleasure/comfort and the value of nothing else.
Even reading about this makes me ill. I can’t imagine how anybody could do that.
