Ìý Euthanasia Thursday 5 June 2003 Ìý
There have been a number of moving stories in recent months where people suffering from a terminal illness have gone to Switzerland where they've been helped to commit suicide.

A number of people have asked why isn't it possible to do that here. Tomorrow Lord Joffe's Patient: Assisted Dying Bill will have its second reading in the House of Lords.
But it has not been welcomed by some sectors of the medical profession, religious communities and those representing disabled people.
Jane Campbell, a Commissioner for the Disability Rights Commission and Deborah Annetts, chief executive of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society join Jenni to discuss the implications.
