Even in Britain where euthanasia or PAS is illegal, people and mostly physicians practice it. In May 1999, a British general practitioner Dr. David Moor was prosecuted of murdering a patient. He was accused of murdering 85-year-old terminally ill cancer patient George Liddell by administering a fatal dose of the painkiller, Diamorphine. Although he was not found guilty in murder but he had given drugs to that patient. Also he admitted in a press interview to having helped up to 300 people to die ("BBC News”).
One case in particular, that shows to great depth just how effective the criminal legal system can be is the Desmond Campbell Vs Janet Campbell case. After trial, on the 18th of May, 2010 Desmond Campbell was found guilty of pushing his wealthy wife Janet (age 49) to her death on the 24th of March, 2005 off a 50 meter cliff just south of Burning Palms in the Royal National Park in for financial gain. It was noticed that the offence committed by Des carried a maximum forfeiture of a life sentence in Prison, however, the Crown (and Judge) came to the conclusion that this specific case did not meet the description found in The Crimes (Sentencing Procedures) Act 1999. They felt it differentiated too drastically in terms of seriousness (with Desmond’s conviction sitting in the mid range of seriousness for offences of murder) and in level of culpability in comparison other cases such as R v Coulter (2005) NSWSC 101 , R v Gonzales (2004) NSWSC 822 and R v Walsh (2009) NSWSC 764 which led to life sentences. There was, in fact a mitigating factor put forward by the defence lawyer for Desmond being that his older brother was killed in a motor vehicle accident shortly after he had migrated to australia traumatizing him during his years as an infant years.

When he was 32 he tried heroin for the first time and this was the demon that finally took his life at the age of 40. The whole family was aware of his battles with alcohol, pot, cocaine and we all just thought the best way of handling it was for him to live his life and pray to God that he would get help and clean. It wasn’t until I found out he was using heroin that I would confront him about the life he has lived and if he didn’t clean up his act he would either go to jail or die.
