It is a difficult one , I think if any legislation is accompanied by proper palliative care then I could support it myself . I really worry about abuse, especially for poorer people and those without good advocacy and at a times where it feels that our politics is heading in the wrong direction in terms of valuing people I can only conclude with the quote that "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" I do have a sort of faith beyond humanity and I do not believe that that conflicts with this issue but the potential for abuse is huge and until I can be happy that we are on a better path I worry if it succeeds.

Spot on as so often. Like you I’m in favour but don’t believe those opposed are morally bankrupt. And legislation is a different matter to my own belief. Otherwise I’d be in favour of banning Nutella and closing down that bloody Abba ripoff. Glad I don’t have to decide here.
