Let free will prevail...we will all have to give account of ourselves on judgement day (my beliefs,you don't have to agree with me and that principle should be applied to everyday life and EHC supplies!)
But NOT OTC addiction?

I disagree with Gaby - If you believe something to be morally wrong you shouldn't be obliged to go along with it ("I was only obeying orders" ceased to be a legal (or moral)defence at Nuremberg)
I similarly think that the obliation to signpost is in itself a moral dilemma.

So how do you feel about euthanasia - do you wish to be involved if it becomes legal in the UK - if you don't should you be obliged to signpost?
Whilst it remains illegal here should you be allowed to signpost to those countries and clinics that provide the service?
