Terry Pratchett writes movingly and convincingly that assisted suicide should be allowed. Coming up with some general rule about how and when will be the hard part. I can't see any legal reforms in this area being anything except controversial and problematic. I fear it will be a long time before the legal system can accomodate the mature, considered decision to end one's own suffering. I'm referring, btw, to the Australian legal system. From the sounds of it, the UK system is in more or less the same position.
