The UK has fallen off a vertical moral cliff. First, the head prosecutor for England and Wales effectively decriminalized family and friends assisting the suicides of people with serious disabilities and terminal conditions. Now, a coroner’s inquest has determined that physicians were right not to try and save the life of a suicidal woman who killed herself by drinking anti freeze. Why? She had written a note stating she didn’t want to be saved.
This is a profound abandonment of the people needing the most love and involvement by their community. More over at Secondhand Smoke.

Makes me proud to be living in modern Britain.
When the time comes (and if things continue the way they’re going, it will) I’ll have to flee to some other country. Perhaps America? I know Obama is currently ruining things but there’s a much larger and better educated Christian/conservative/libertarian movement in the States.
