I am just conscious of the time. I am trying to get to the question of whether, given the fact that the word "right" is used, it is thought that there is some kind of right to suicide that someone might interfere with by preventing the suicide.

In the case of the more direct act of euthanasia where a person would end someone's life at the latter's request, what law would be broken? Would it be the common law offence of murder? The law on assisting a suicide was mentioned, but what law would be breached if someone directly ended someone's life at his or her request?
