    Yes, it's very controversial.

    What do you think about this?

    I think you've got to ask a few questions first
    ---------------------------
    Should someone have the right to take their own life?

    If doing this will hurt someone, should it be done?

    If seeing you in pain hurts someone, should you continue to hurt them?

    Should anyone tell you what to do with your own body?

    Hi...

    I have a story relative to that..

    It's about :

    Euthanasia: Woman wins right to review of law on assisted suicide

    Little part about it:
    A woman with multiple sclerosis who wants her husband to help her end her life today won a landmark legal review of the law on assisted suicide.

    Two judges gave Debbie Purdy permission to bring a high court challenge forcing the director of public prosecutions, Sir Ken Macdonald, to clarify under which circumstances people could be prosecuted for helping their loved ones die.

    Purdy, 45, wants her husband, Omar Puente, to accompany her to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland to end her life once her suffering has become unbearable. However, she is worried he could be prosecuted on returning to the UK.

    wow, actually I see that situation as weird..although I have known for a fact how difficult is her situation and that it has no cure but assisting the person you love to welcome her own death seems a bit weird. Although I sees that they both had their reasons for doing...

    Anybody who wishes to die should be entitled to do so without any persecution whatsoever.
