Hello,

thanks for your interest, and don't hesitate to point out the slightest mistake Emotion: big smile

" On such delicate issues as euthanasia and its legislation, it is almost impossible to content everyone considering how opposed are the different opinions. Despite the law is constantly questioned, " assisted suicide " is nowadays illegal in nearly all the occidental countries. The debate keeps going on, and as the law is not really evolving, interested people tend to find a " plan B " solution to end their lives.

According to Pauline Smith, who heads end of life care in West Midlands, everyone should be able to choose how to die, not only the rich people. Indeed, although helping someone commit suicide is clearly forbidden in England, wealthy suicidal persons can decide to travell to Switzerland where eutahansia is totally legal and even organized in the expensive Dignitas clinics, on the other hand highly criticated by Cristina Odone who compares them to the leaders of " a new industry of death " where are injected " poisonous cocktails ". Moreover, the oncologist Tim Maughan points out that some patients who wanted to commit suicide because they thought they were terminally ill finally recovered, and that legalizing euthanasia would beget pressures.

At the same time, Cristina Odone observes another phenomenon quite paradoxical : suicide has almost become commonplace for old people who do not even suffer from serious disease, whereas research shows that the elders are often happier than younger people. The journalist shares the opinion of the French psychologist Marie de Hennezel, arguing that the end of the life can be a sort of " golden age " full of love and learning. She acknoledges that there have been progress since suicide was considered as a shame for the person and his whole family, but estimates that its trivialization has gone too far as old people kill themselves because they are deaf or suffer from a badly filed nail.

But of course all cases are not similar to these, and a lot of people want to end their lives painlessly and with dignity due to more severe reasons. Confronted with the prohibition of the law, 130 of them resorted to Jack Kevorkian, an American pathologist who invented suicide machines thanks to which " clients " could inject themselves a lethal dose in places such as " Dr. Death's " rusty van. Mike Richards considers that the dialogue must be improved between doctors, uncomfortable talking about death, and euthanasia-asking people. "

Thank you very much !
