Mr. Luley has been at pains to tell us that we should not close our eyes to the possibility of legalising euthanasia as opposed to assisted suicide. I find it surprising he will not say he would like to see a similar change in the law in Switzerland to allow for euthanasia. What does he do when people request euthanasia? Does he send them away or counsel them to go to another country where it is legal? What does he do in practice?
