Thank you Iain for this excellent piece. I had never thought before about a parallel between capital punishment and assisted dying, but I think your argument is spot on. The slippery slope is real, and no quantity of legislative safeguards and hedging can restrict so fundamental a shift in our law and practice to only the "ideal cases", if any such cases even exist.
