That's not an office for a friend, my lord...

A slope getting slipperier and sloppier by the minute....
Assisted suicide has been illegal in England for nearly 50 years.
But, ordered by the courts to clarify the law, the country’s top prosecutor on Wednesday set out a list of conditions under which his office would be unlikely to prosecute people who helped friends or relatives kill themselves.

The new guidelines are likely to make it easier for the terminally ill and those with degenerative diseases to receive help in committing suicide.
