Assisted dying or killing? Are the boundaries failing us? Misunderstandings of the current legal situation around Euthanasia often give the illusion that any decision about life is personal. Richard Harward shares his views on why Euthanasia is not an individual matter as it involves others and has an impact on society as a whole.
No Man Is an Island (John Donne)
No man is an island, Entire of itself; Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, As well as if a promontory were: As well as if a manor of thy friend’s Or of thine own were. Any man’s death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.
