where the assisted dying was granted on the grounds of intractable depression and mental illness — you can design your legislation so you don�*t have it. you know, you�*ll say you cannot get assisted dying if the diagnosis is fundamentally a psychiatric one. but there have been extremely vexing court cases in both the netherlands and belgium. one or two, one or two. but it only takes one or two to plant the idea that, actually, it sounds... the way you describe it, it sounds so simple, so clear—cut. it�*s not. in fact, in the real world, it�*s not. it�*s not clear—cut. but, in the real world, a lot of people have very miserable deaths. you only have to read the book published recently by the dignity in dying campaign, i think called last rights — terrible stories of what goes on in this country. now, every time i operated, there was a risk i�*d make things worse. i mean, that is the nature of medicine — it is uncertain. and it�*s almost you have an essentially utilitarian ethic — "will more people benefit than will suffer?" and you apply that ethic even to the process of assisted dying? yes, i think you have to. so, in some cases, somebody could be assisted to die in circumstances which, upon reflection, were wrong. i think... a mistake.
