Report Allows Patients to Commit Suicide

Urged the British report issued by the “Independent Commission to assist in the death,” which includes in its membership a number of doctors and dignitaries, doctors to help dying patients in killing themselves as medical lethal doses, but only if they have less than a year in the life.

The report calls released today to reject what he called the law “incomplete and Almtnavr” against assisted suicide after a series of high-profile cases in which patients use the clinic, known as the suicide Dagnetas (Dignitas) to kill themselves.

The Daily Telegraph that although help someone commit suicide is punishable by imprisonment for up to 14 years and police are still investigating all cases, but there were not any prosecutions since the development of clear guidance on this matter two years ago.

The Commission says that the situation is very painful and confusing for families of health workers, and puts a heavy burden on the police and the prosecutors.

Under the plans, will allow doctors to prescribe definitively put an end to the lives of terminally ill patients who are in front of them less than 12 months of life, provided that they have judged the ability of the mentality and a clear desire to die.

If we do this procedure, this may mean that more than a thousand people will be of assistance in dying in England and Wales each year.

A strong argument
The report acknowledges that took years that the legislation would be a real pressure on vulnerable people to end their lives, either from family members or from a sense of being a burden on society. He says that to protect the vulnerable, the disabled and those suffering from dementia or depression will not qualify for help in killing themselves.

He also recommends citing Broaan to independent doctors before the adoption of the patients have the right to assisted suicide, should be to have a period of “calm” for about two weeks before giving them drugs that should take them for themselves.

In addition, the report calls for better care for the dying in all hospitals and nursing homes across the country as well as more open debate about death. 

The report concludes with the final panel, led by former Labour minister Lord Falconer, that there is a strong argument for the option of providing assistance in the suicide of his terminally ill. 

It is worth noting that opinion polls indicate that public opinion is moving towards change, especially among those who saw their loved ones are suffering in their last days. The-new poll found that 61% want the parliament to discuss the issue of the British travel abroad for help in dying.
