Euthanasia ....... I actually have first hand experience of this ...... And it was 25 years ago in Holland.
Holland has a pretty wonderful deal where every county has its own minister of justice, and it is he or she who decides which cases will be prosecuted or not ..... Which is why for example drugs appear to be legal in places like Amsterdam when in fact they are against the law.
My mother in law didnt feel too good (aged 50) and popped to the local GP for a check up, came home surprised (after a few trips to the hospital) to discover that she had terminal cancer with less than a few months to live.
They gave her a whole bix of pills to take which included Heroin and Cocaine funnily enough and once she started taking them she was out of it.......
.....anyway, she soon said feck that to the drugs and decided she wanted out ........
So the day came, in her own living room, the whole family was there, so was the GP.
The minister of justice arrived, spent some time talking to every family member, then talked to her .... Then announced he had seen enough and nodded at the GP. She was given a shot and off she went.
So you see it can be done in a civilised and proper way ..... And most importantly, its been going on all over europe like that for decades .... Its not a suddenly new scandal thing ...... And nothing is suddenly going to change because of a new law ....
