Letter: Care for the dying

Sir: In the euthanasia debate there should be only one operative word - "choice". After all, only one's own life is involved, and if one can find a doctor willing to practise euthanasia, I fail to see how anyone else can expect to have a say in the matter. Neither state nor church can stipulate how much suffering I will have to go through before I die. Only I have the right to decide that.
