Excellent point. These are the types of points that I wish the media would drive home!
What makes the entire argument even more unbelievable is the number of well-meaning people who have lovingly ended the lives of wives or husbands who were irretrievably, terminally ill and ended up in prison after they did precisely what their loved ones clearly wanted them to do.
I just wonder how Greer would have ruled in cases of that type? I'm pretty certain that he feels complete detachment from the ultimate act of killing this lady, who's done nothing more than marry a cold, uncaring, vicious man. By contrast, the men and women who ended the suffering of a wife or husband (for which they ultimately, knowingly and righfully paid a price) exhibited the bravery to do the deed themselves and accepted responsibility for it.
