I use social services as they would also be involved in this dilema should we all lose our marbles and make this law, (but to be honest I don't think we in the UK will ever get that barmy) unless of course a seperate but equally incompetant and bungling buracrtic organisation is going to be "made up" specialising in this area. All we have now are Doctors and Social workers.
Either way mistakes WILL be made..thats fact
Miss use will be likely and definately possible, so why change what we have now? Preventing one mistake and 1 one miss use to me eqautes to 2 innocent people staying alive.
What is wrong with that?

Why just ignore every point we make about dignity and choice... and then just re hash your old point?
"sound minded Doctor (up until his arrest did we know differently) "
whether we knew differently or not makes zero difference to your argument...he was a nutter. He is NOT a god example of doc qualified to decide on assisted suicide because they need more than one doc ( as I said) ....plus don't they also need a psychologist to makes sure the ill person isn't being forced, is of sound mind.
This has ZERO to do with Shipman example and I want you to say as much. "bungling bureaucratic organisation" what? go to the US and see what a cr#p health service is ... you just hang sh*t on everything. Governments, doctors, social workers. ... and then hope somewhere in all that mud slinging you've made an argument.
"Preventing one mistake and 1 one miss use to me equates to 2 innocent people staying alive." Here's what's wrong..."
YOU don't get to choose how people who want to end there lives go out. GET IT? Why would you think you can? The "mistakes" you talk of?... what mistakes " person wants to end there lives... doc looks them over 3 times over a month, gets and psychologist to check the person. Then a physicain checks them out. What mistake and misuse are you talking about given the amount oh huge regulation and double and triple checking there will be..spell it out . A shipman type doc has more chance of getting away with what he did today in anormal GP practice than he would today under these stringent euthanasia laws. That's 3 times I've said that ...
