There is an awful sweeping generalization
that because people can't imagine being in a situation, that it must be worse than death. People fight to stay alive. You can fly to Switzerland and end it, or you can kill yourself before you are unable, but try and have some thought for the abuses of the system before you implement it here. As Kroney said, would you really want the power of life and death in the hands of those carehome workers? Because that's where it'll end up.

I was thinking more along the lines of the right to make the choice
rather than the practicalities of it

I wasn't saying that if you can't imagine it that it must be worse than death at all. I was saying that if you haven't been through it then you can't know what it would be like to have to make the choice.
