Original Note:
Section 2 of the Suicide Act 1961 states it remains a criminal offence for a third party to assist or encourage another to commit suicide. A medical professional in the UK would risk imprisonment and loss of professional licence if they were to do this. https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/research/key-issues-parliament-2015/social-change/debating-assisted-suicide.
