The UK has fallen off a vertical moral cliff. First, the head prosecutor for England and Wales effectively decriminalized family and friends assisting the suicides of people with serious disabilities and terminal conditions .

She had written a note stating she didn’t want to be saved.
This is a profound abandonment of the people needing the most love and involvement by their community. More over at Secondhand Smoke .
