Terry Pratchett is advocating for people's right ro die. Assisted
suicide is currently illegal and the law is being clarified on people
taking someone to the Dignitas clinic.
"
A YouGov poll commissioned by the Daily Telegraph found that 75% of
2,053 people questioned wanted the law changed to allow assisted
suicide, which is currently a crime.
In another survey for BBC Panorama 73% of those questioned said friends
or relatives should be allowed to help someone who is terminally ill to
commit suicide without fear of punishment. This fell to 48% when the
illness was incurable and painful, but not fatal - and 49% said those
involved should face prosecution.
