Abstract
"Until fairly recent times, euthanasia has generally been regarded as sinful, immoral and illegal. More recently a growing body of opinion has emerged which regards the old arguments as unconvincing and would have “death with dignity” widely available. It seems to me that the old arguments are indeed often over-simplistic and unconvincing. However, the proponents of euthanasia also frequently over-simplify the situation. We need a period of wide and open discussion so that the complexities may be more generally understood as we move towards more adequate religious, moral and legal frameworks. In the meantime any changes to the legal position should be gradual."
