Professor Huxtable spoke about a reduced offence that could be introduced. He referred to compassionate killing as a type of compromise. How does that differ from legalising assisted dying and maintaining the status quo? Either we do it or we do not. I am not sure how the compromise fits in, so perhaps Professor Huxtable will enlighten me.
