Medical Examiner's office was established pretty much with Shipman in mind. Too risky for a Hospice doctor/nurse to administer a lethal dose and risk external testing of the body. But they do their best to be generous with the drugs, to ease suffering.

The whole point is a fit and able person is able to take their life in any number of ways. The terminally ill cancer or MND person is having their capacity eaten away to the point where they need the help of someone else.

I personally don't see much difference between them being given a lot of valium and morphine (legally), which stops the body fighting death. I don't really see the need for such a complex process for someone wanting to go "a bit earlier".

It has to be self administered, The person who helps the administering could get up to 14 years in prison if anything goes wrong, and we know these things are looked at in hindsight by the police snd the cps.
