Since the Dignitas clinic opened in Switzerland in 1998, 123 Britons have traveled there to die. The friends and relatives who accompanied them have sometimes been investigated but never prosecuted. Last year, a multiple sclerosis sufferer named Debbie Purdy, concerned that her husband risked prison if he took her to Dignitas, won a case forcing Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer to make clear the circumstances that would spark legal...
