@CarolineLucas I don't support this due to how the security question “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” (literally: who watches the watchmen ?) remains unanswered since the ancient Roman poet Juvenal asked it, and directly applies to this proposal.

Any safeguards built to prevent how "assisted dying" may be abused can be defunded by a future callous, negligent and bribe-taking administration and weakened, opening a way for murders in which the key remaining witnesses becomes the victims.
