Ian McEwan calls for assisted dying rights to extend to dementia sufferers

I like it when some bishop says on the radio: It's the thin end of the wedge,' and I think yes, it is the thin end of the wedge, because certain groups are missing from it, such as those with dementia. It has to be physical pain. My guess is that if we pushed it through with all the protections around it of doctors and dispassionate people making judgments we'll look back on this and think, Why did we ever let people die in agony?'
