When did it become acceptable to describe killing someone as 'shortening their lives', as seems to be happening around the Gosport WM Hospital report? Smacks of trying to soften the blow, imply limited remaining life expectancy of victims and avoid the word 'murder' to me.

I'm sure you're right. #assisteddying relies heavily on trust in clinicians - trust which is rapidly evaporating, imho. My own experience taught me that the consenting process is (still) open to abuse, which was enough reason alone to oppose the bill. This only adds fuel.
