Debbie Purdy people beginning to openly discuss the right to die

Now one thing Ive always wondered and a number of people on facebook pointed this out too, did Debbies high-profile case make it more likely the authorities would make an example of Omar and sentence him for 14 years imprisonment if he helped Debbie travel to Switzerland?
Debbie said she had made it perfectly clear that she had made this decision on her own. But, from a legal point of view she needed clarity, the law is as colour-blind as it wishes it were. Because the law has now been clarified, she says she now feels confident to live. Omar concludes that although this issue is an uncomfortable one to talk about, people should and must (just like with politics or football) and following Debbies efforts more people really are openly discussing a change in the law.
