  Anyone who watches a loved one being eaten alive by cancer, as I did with my beloved Hubby, will welcome this .
  By the time he died he'd shrunk three inches in a year. They stopped weighing him when he went below 7 stone. He was doubly incontinent, couldn't walk, couldn't talk, couldn't eat and had gone blind.

  Devon.

  You're welcome 🙂 ... and I am all for reform of the current laws on it, though I would also like to see an increase in funding for hospices and other end of life care.  We are all going to die.  Enduring the unendurable for the sake of getting to a "natural" end is pointless, IMV.

  Ridiculous that we do it for animals and not ourselves.

  I agree with what you've all said. It's long overdue.

  If I kept a dog as ill as my Late Husband, I'd have been prosecuted.
