If they want to be upfront about it, the UK (and other deathwish countries) should create licensed euthanasists, who would do the killing in a formalized, contractual way. This would keep the taint of death off of physicians who could go about the business of, you know, doing no harm. But that wouldn't suit the deathers: they want physicians to be able to kill a patient whether the patient chooses it or not.
