The argument against liberal reform of the UK's death laws once hinged mainly on the sanctity of life and the duty of doctors to prolong it for as long as possible. This argument has worn thin, and many are nowadays moved principally by the predicament of those who long to die. The obstacle, it seems, is no longer the high-flown notion of sanctity; it is the risk of everyday abuse - of discreet, economically motivated homicide - given the cash-strapped climate in which medicine operates today.
