Man dies at Dignitas Clinic - Why is this news?

If that was the headline, why did you bother to read it?

Obviously to find out if there was anything else to it.

Is that okay with you?

No1 on the Beeb's most read list, so others clearly find it newsworthy. I knew nothing about it until I opened this thread.

Perhaps they were just as curious as me MD.

There's been a lot of coverage about it for some reason.

Tbf, no2 was 'Buzzcocks cancelled' so maybe it's a slow news day. Should have been sent to Dignitas the day Simon Amstell left!

Maybe because he shouldn't actually have to go to Switzerland to die.

maybe a documentary being made? bbc self promotion?

debate in scottish parliament tomorrow apparently. happens 24 times a year, (uk person going to dignitas) so some sort of attempt by bbc to promote an issue

Seems to be the case - cue endless phone in discussions.
