Assisted suicide has been a hot topic for months and months, CB

As populations age and as society changes, the question of whether (and if so why) it is wrong for one person to be allowed to assist another to end their own life is going to keep on being raised. I would hope that this particular programme is a thoughtful contribution to the debate rather than mere sensationalism, and if it is, good on it.
