It is like the anti terror legislation being used to spy on people to see if they live where they live when applying for a school place.
Such a system is open to abuse

The polititions have never got round to even trying to come up with a sysytem of protection against abuse. Like I said if man kind can put it's mind to science then surely they can devise a system of safe gaurds.
The legal sytem of putting people on trial can result in abuse by rich lawyers getting rich clients off. But we don't go around saying we should not ahave a trial system just because it goes wrong sometimes.
The real abuse is allowing or forcing people to suffer horrendously without even trying to solve a difficult problem..At the the end of the day religious dogma puts a stop to even considering it.......

Well said Bananarama I couldnt agree more. I just think how hard can it be to create a system and at least trial it? I recently produced guidance for end of life care training and the key to everything written was choice, the dignity agenda says people should first and foremost have choices about their care, yet we fail to allow them a choice to die when their suffering is so unbearable.
