Daniel James's death is a tragic end to his very sad story. Suicide attempted in the months following an accident resulting in paralysis in a young man is far from unusual. The awful truth about his future can only be faced if there is adequate support from family and friends around the clock. Psychiatric help is essential with an on going commitment. Suicide is not a punishable offence in law. Assisted suicide is different, it involves another person often a relative who is emotionally involved and may be blackmailed into believing that they are being compassionate and caring. The unfortunate victim has no chance of allowing second thoughts to change his mind. Allowing assisted suicide is a pernicious ideology. Mary Knowles |
