The dangers of the politicisation of the “life” debate
or so a legal bod writes in a letter to The Times. How a society judges what is acceptable in terms of ending human life, what limits are drawn, what exceptions are allowed etc. is one of the most important definers of a particular civilisation. Lawyers would probably argue that it should be left up to them and let Parliament continue to do other stuff such as spend 700 hours debating how Foxes lives are ended instead.
