Paul West,
Systems Analyst
"Won't this lead to a rash of terminally ill people being put out of their misery?"
Madison Brock,
Media Consultant
"I have no problem, as long as they use the regulation suicide-assistance mallet."
Roger Milton,
Television Presenter
"It's a difficult issue, but I think there's a time in many Britons' lives when they must say, 'Fuck all, it's gone tits up the lot of it, so no more muckin' about like a silly cunt, yeah? Cheers.'"
