Where attempts are made to have safeguards, or where there is what is described as a safeguard in any regime where euthanasia or assisted suicide is permitted, what tariff or penalty attaches to breaches of safeguards that cause to die people who, under the rules, should not have been allowed to die or be killed? Are we talking about the equivalent of penalties for murder or manslaughter in those jurisdictions?
