@C7RKY simplistic of me but why do doctors still risk assisted suicide prosecutions if patient wishes to control his own pathway? -
@LaurenceVick Can't claim to know, but to me the risk of prosecution for *anything* seems so small as to negate any disincentive for doctors -
@C7RKY society inconsistent?No prosecutions where culpable behaviour/conniving but over yrs doctors prosecuted in some tragic suicide cases -
@LaurenceVick It's hard not to see that position as one which is contrived. I know of several cases where criminal acts have gone unpunished
