If you're feeling suicidal atm, please do not read any further!
I don't usually watch or listen to the news because it's usually so negative but Steve switched over to the news at 6pm so I didn't have much choice today.
I don't know if you know about Dignitas in Switzerland, but apparently the UK is maybe going to do something similar! The PM is going to have a chatette to the Queen who will then make a televised whatsit about what's actually going to happen.
As little as 5 years ago I would have been dancing with joy with this news... but now? I really don't know any more! I'm thankful that it's being considered, I just don't want the law to be too weak - the news said that the "rules" would be the same as in Switzerland (that you have to be of sound mind and have less than 6 months to live) but is that enough? How do you prove that someone is of sound mind?
What do you think? I'm genuinely interested as I really can't decide any more now!
