Quite aside from the argument about whether or not assisted suicide is a good idea, am I naive in thinking it's not the job of the Director of the CPS to decide what and what will not be prosecuted in this sense? I thought their role was to decide if there was a reasonable chance of conviction in a given case, not say "well, I don't agree with this so we won't prosecute this any more".

For what it's worth though, should I be in a situation where I've decided it was appropriate to do so I would like to able able to say "pull the plug" and have it happen without anyone getting into bothers about it.
