Letters: Those who are dying should have the right to avoid needless suffering
SIR – Professor John Keown’s expertise in ethics (Letters, December 22) is unimpeachable, but he is wrong to suggest that allowing dying people to choose the manner and timing of their deaths would represent the state’s “endorsement” of that choice. It would be just as accurate to suggest that the state is “endorsing” the unnecessary suffering of dying people who would presently want to make that choice.
