Quote from Professor Suzanne Ost, Professor of Law, Lancaster University reads: "On the face of it, a fully state-funded service might promote equality of access for those seeking an assisted death, but it might also send the wrong symbolic message. There’s also the serious challenge of additional costs to an already struggling NHS and finding enough willing medical practitioners"

Seems to be a lot more on assisted dying leading up to the parliamentary debate on Friday. We have conducted research in a number of countries of first hand accounts of families and healthcare workers which is complex, and summarised in this paper theconversation.com/assisted-dyi...
Assisted dying: first-hand accounts of what it’s like to help a loved one die
Choosing to hasten one’s death is an intensely personal, carefully considered decision. But it is rarely made in isolation.
