I am going to talk about a couple of different things this evening and they are not related in any way except that they both come from me.
Firstly I have been watching an episode of 'Hard talk' on BBC world. This evening they were interviewing a couple, the Nicholsons, one of whom has for the last 6 years not been able to do anything for himself and he wants to die. The problem is that they live in the UK and assisted suicide is seen as murder.
OK, he can't do anything but he has an entourage who is there to help him. He is never alone and he knows that people love him from the 24 hour care and concern that is shown him by them.
Others in the world could take their own lives physically, but are afraid to do so, they are alone. They spend much of their time alone and are unhappy, but do we take about the moral issue about them?
