I have some time for Simon Heffer which is why I was surprised to hear him say on the radio that it is for politicians to decide whether a person has a right to end their life if it has become insupportable due to an incurable illness, specifically in this instance the man with locked-in syndrome who has just recently had his case delayed.
It is an inalienable individual right to end one's life if one considers it has become unbearable and it absolutely should never be on the say so of any third rate politician or judge for that matter
The idea that a politician should determine that a person carry on living in abject misery and suffering is positively obscene and profoundly totalitarian a concept and methinks Mr Heffer should really know better.
