Agreed. Instead of asking if assisted suicide is legally or morally right in cases of extreme pain, the question to ask is why was socialized UK medicine not easing her pain.
Went through incredible difficulty trying to get my sister sedated as PA has strict laws regarding this. She suffered immeasurably because they would not sedate her until her body began shutting down the last 24 hours.
I would advise anyone to check what a hospitals or care facilities policey is on sedation BEFORE you admit them.
