Voluntary Assisted Dying, page-72

''What is the difference between VAD and committing suicide? There is none.''

really? gosh -------- now there's a deeply thought through statement one doesn't see often

- VAD is assisted suicide - meaning that one is given a peaceful death using drugs that sedate one and one falls asleep - with the assistance of medical staff

-Suicide can be without any assistance - blowing one's brains out with a gun or hanging from a rope - in emotional pain, alone

if you can't see a difference there - I suggest that a seeing eye dog and a white cane probably won't help much
