It's funny. Aversion to suicide always strikes me as one of those throwbacks to the olden days where just about everything was frowned on.

I remember in 6th form we had a debating class on this topic and I was the only who would try and argue in favour of the right to die (in actual fact I am somewhat apathetic in opinion on this: beyond the thought that each to his own decisions). Everyone else thought it seemed distasteful.

Whatever the views and rights/wrongs I think it's a good thing the UK courts are now reviewing the law in relation to assisted suicide for relatives of those who travel to Switzerland to die.
