Grace Dent: Modern life can be horrific. But assisted suicide is the easy – and often wrong – option, so don't let the likes of Dignitas dignify it
A retired teacher ended her life because she 'couldn't adapt to the modern world'
On 29 March, Anne – we know only her first name – killed herself because she was fed up with modern life. She was 89 and not terminally ill – just terminally sick of email and irritated by the rise of ready-meals. She fretted about the environment and thought the internet age had made us all "robots". I have moments where I know exactly how she felt. Rather worryingly, don't we all?
What intelligent person doesn't log-on to their computer from time-to-time, staring at the sea of work demands, nags, passive-aggressive reminders and sponsorship begging, only to dream of a bygone age where people contacted us mainly by second-class post?
And so many people can't peel a potato these days –can't even feed themselves. I saw it on TV. Kids can't even recognise a carrot even when Jamie Oliver is holding the aforementioned long pointy-ended orange vegetable while dressed as a carrot himself.
Oh it makes me depressed. Modern life can be horrific, But because I am young – ok I'm 40 – and modern life can also be incredible. It's full of WhatsApp chats, feminist triumphs, dancing to Destiny's Child at 3am in stupid nightclubs, long-haul holidays, speedy Ocado deliveries, and, not least, it's filled with full-time work which fools me into feeling I have great world‑changing purpose.
It seems that Anne, being 89, didn't have as many of the good bits. The silly bits and the purposeful bits had evaporated, so she ended up drinking a lethal cocktail of barbiturates at a Dignitas clinic and passed away "with quiet determination", according to Michael Irwin, the founder of the Society for Old Age Rational Suicide.
When Anne was younger she was a Royal Navy Engineer and had also taught art. Her pre-death interview indicates that she was an erudite woman, not in pain, who was in fact killing herself because she was bewildered and deflated by an ever-changing world. She sounds, to me, depressed. I'd prefer Citalopram, not organised suicide, for the elderly. We cannot, I feel, condone suicide for elderly people who are just a bit sick of it all.
I have quietly supported assisted suicide for years. I haven't loudly supported it because giving an increasingly free hand to people like Dignitas in an age of worldwide rising mental-health problems always felt precarious. Still, assisted suicide for the gravely sick, for those in a degenerative state, for those in the ghoulish grips of endless pain – this I can understand.
It is difficult to watch a documentary such as Louis Theroux's Edge of Life – involving dying cancer patients – and feel that a little help in pushing people kindly into "that good night" is wrong. But elderly, downcast people who just can't see "the point"? They should be cheered up, made to feel included, cherished, and – if needs be – medicated for their mood-dips.
As family members become elderly, the journey is tricky. Increasingly one becomes the adult and they become the child. They become stubborn and at times unable to be reasoned with. You become infuriated, they become isolated. Once proud, diligent people become increasingly likely to let burglars into their house, to respond to telephone scams, to stop feeding and caring for themselves, and now – in Anne's case – people are planning their own suicide because they are sick of the rise of emails and the lack of the human touch.
In Anne's request to Dignitas, she referred to her lack of energy, and she said that declining health had left her with "a life with no enviable future." She said of the modern age: "I find myself swimming against the current. If you can't join them, get off."
I have a dream about what an old folks' home might be like when I reach the age of 89. It's a jolly, stimulating place where a load of us old gits watch Mad Men and Seinfeld from the beginning in a warm TV room. There will be nice snacks. There's a music room for us all to bring vinyl and jabber on about our days of clubbing. There's decent food, good, cheery nurses, days out at the pub, romances, projects and visitors for everyone as we all have a bit of a laugh before popping off – one by one – to the infinite heavenly nothing. It's a small dream of feeling purposeful and included to the end.
I'm sorry that Anne didn't feel like that. I hope others won't copy her.

It is the forgotten environmental crisis – but probably the most important one of all. There's constant, justifiable concern about climate change, the growing scarcity of fresh water, the loss of wildlife, and pollution of the air and seas. But rarely does such attention come down to earth.
Humanity, like all terrestrial life, depends utterly on the alarmingly thin coating that dusts the Earth's crust. Just six to 10 inches of topsoil – in the words of Luc Gnacadja, who leads on the issue for the United Nations – is normally "all that stands between us and extinction".
And we are going to need it more and more. As population and demand grow, the world will have vastly to increase food production. Already demand is outstripping supply, even in years of
good harvests, forcing up prices and hunger alike. We cannot afford, literally, to lose ground.
Yet about a quarter of the world's agricultural land has already been degraded, mainly through over-cultivation, over-grazing, and the felling of trees that bind soil to the ground, help rainwater to penetrate, and shield it from winds that would blow it away. In the 1970s and 1980s alone, the world lost some 500 billion tons of topsoil – equivalent, I'm told, to the entire covering of United States cropland. And still about 12 million hectares – an area three times the size of Switzerland – becomes useless to agriculture every year.
Most of the damage is in the drylands that host nearly half the world's agriculture, causing patches of man-made desert to erupt and merge.
Partly as a result, about four fifths of the world's recent conflicts have broken out in arid areas. The Darfur war provides a clear example: land degradation, exacerbated by climate change, brought the Sudanese desert 100 km south over four decades, driving the nomadic people who had lived off the newly barren areas on to the land of other tribes.
The destruction is as almost old as civilisation itself. The first known written story, the Epic of Gilgamesh, warned against felling the forests of ancient Mesopotamia. It was disregarded and Uruk, the city where it was first told, is now just a bump in the desert shrouding where people first set plough to the ground.
But cross Asia to the world's second great cradle of agriculture and you'll hear a different – far more hopeful – tale. It starts conventionally enough. China's Loess Plateau, where the earth was first tilled 10,000 years ago, was long known as the most eroded place on the planet: 600 million tons of soil washed into the Yellow River every year.
But now a staggering transformation is taking place. Just 15 years of work by the local people – backed by the Chinese government and the World Bank – has made an area the size of Belgium fertile again, through such measures as terracing the barren slopes and building small dams, a ban on felling trees and the planting of new ones, and setting aside land for nature. Yields and incomes have quadrupled.
John Liu, a film-maker who has been documenting the transformation, told a conference on "human security" in Caux, Switzerland, this week that the results had "far exceeded expectations". Other speakers had similarly surprising experiences. Yacouba Sawadogo – an innovative, illiterate and eloquent small farmer from Burkino Faso – experimented with digging holes every metre across his barren land and filling them with manure. His yields of millet and sorghum quickly jumped from nothing to 1,500 kilos a hectare in years of good rains, and tens of thousands of his neighbours have followed suit.
And Dr Chris Reij, of Amsterdam's Vrije University, who has worked in the Sahel for over 30 years, described how farmers in Niger had greened five million hectares of unproductive land simply by protecting naturally sprouting tree seedlings from being eaten by goats. The result: an extra 500,000 tons of grain a year – enough to feed at least 2.5 million people.
He reckons that two thirds of the world's degraded land could be similarly restored. But encouraging as the grassroots greening has been, it remains piecemeal, and largely unknown – still less supported – by local governments, let alone the world at large.
In 1992, the Rio Earth Summit agreed a treaty to reverse land degradation – but it has not received a thousandth of the attention paid to the agreements on climate change and biodiversity struck at the same time. Perhaps this is about to change. Mr Gnacadja, who heads the treaty's secretariat, has persuaded the
UN General Assembly to host a special one-day summit on the issue in September. Is it too much to hope that the world finally cops on to both the gravity of the crisis and the immense potential for reversing it?
Ship-shape Bardot squares up to Japan's cut-throat whalers
Now here's a name to scare the pants off a macho group of seafarers: Brigitte Bardot. Or so anti-whaling activists hope. For when Japan said this week that it is planning to resume its slaughter of the leviathans later this year, protesters threatened to send Bardot "to the remote and stormy seas" off Antarctica to try to stop it.
But the 76-year-old legend won't get cold and wet – rather, she has recently lent her name to a ship operated by Sea Shepherd, a marine wildlife conservation group whose harrassment led to Japan abandoning its last hunt early in 2010. Under the rather less glamorous name Cable and Wireless Adventurer, the vessel set a world record for circumnavigating the globe in 1998 and was bought by the activist group last year.
Sea Shepherd renamed it Gojira (Japanese for Godzilla) but had to think again when the owners of the trademark took legal action. So they called it after the actress, who – 34 years ago – went to Canada with Sea Shepherd's founder, Paul Watson, to campaign against the seal cull.
A delighted BB, calling Watson "captain of my heart", cooed: "You are the strength and the courage. I'm the love and determination."
Might Greenpeace rename one of its ships Samantha Cameron, after its former supporter? Certainly, if ever we get round to building battleships again, I want one called the Ann Widdecombe.
National boundaries on the move as climate chaos strikes
For war, read warming. Something that generally used to be achieved by battle – or in some parts of the world by a stroke of a colonial bureaucrat's pen – is now coming about through climate change. As things heat up, national boundaries are having to be redrawn.
Switzerland has concluded agreements with both Italy and France to bow to new geographical realities in demarcating their nations.
The snowbound bits of the Swiss-Italian border, for example, used to be defined by the highest points of glaciers. But these have been melting – the 5,150 Alpine glaciers shrank by about a third between 1850 and the 1970s – and so their crests have been changing.
The two countries meet every two or three years to talk about tweaking their territory accordingly, and indeed moved the border near the Matterhorn more than 100 yards into Italy a couple of years ago. When and if a glacier melts completely, the border will be fixed by the ridge line of the newly exposed rock.
Meanwhile, flooding – which experts expect to increase with global warming – has shifted rivers that form the Swiss-French boundary near Geneva.
It is all very gentlemanly, but it's unlikely to be so when melting changes the map in more troublesome spots, such the Siachen glacier in Kashmir, where more than 3,000 Indian and Pakistani soldiers have already died in a border dispute. There, warming really could spell war.

The Cancerian Factor
I've already shared overviews of the two big astrological news-stories of these next few months, (1) Venus's lengthy transit through Leo, which extends into October, and (2) Saturn's three-month return to Scorpio.
What we haven't yet discussed is the sign of Cancer's highly relevant role during the first segment of this duo's extensive influence, now that both the Sun (Jun 21) and Mars (Jun 24) have entered the crab's watery domain.
Whenever astrologers want additional insight into a planet's expression in a particular sign, we look to the position of that sign's planetary ruler (based on a traditional rulership schema which dates many centuries back) for more information.
The Return of Saturn in Scorpio
Just when you thought it was safe to leave behind its weightier emotional challenges for a long while, Saturn returns to the murky waters of Scorpio today (Sun Jun 14) for a three-month reprise.
Consider this something of a test. Did we truly learn our lessons during Saturn's main-event trip through Scorpio (Oct 2012-Dec 2014)? Did we integrate the full force of our inconvenient desires, uncomfortable feelings, and/or whatever else lurked beneath our polite surfaces? Are we still dealing?
When Saturn left Scorpio for the simplifying horizons of Sagittarius back in December, there was a certain lightening in the collective mood.
Venus's Grand Arrival to Leo!
Effective immediately (as of Fri Jun 5), benefic goddess Venus is now in bold, beautiful Leo! Ready to flagrantly flaunt your heart's fondnesses? This is not a time to be demure, but to love big.
Hope you like a little drama and pluck, pomp and circumstance, with your relational interminglings. Or more than a little. Or much more than that! If you're going to express an interest or affinity, you might as well make a memorable impressionor a full technicolor spectacle!
Please inform the media with the appropriate press releases, bugle calls, ticker-tape parades, and fireworks displays: This visit to Leo is massive news for Venus.
Venusian Tangles
During the coming week, Venus, now in Cancer, will amble straight into the line of engagement with Pluto and Uranus.
As we now know all too well, symbolic expressions of Uranus-and-Pluto's radically destabilizing square come more starkly into view whenever another faster-moving planet enters their sphere-of-influence by hard aspect.
For those who believe, just because we marked the Uranus-Pluto square's seventh-and-final exact peak back in March, its life-redefining effects have all already come and gone, this week ahead could prove rather illuminating.
Leaving Doors Open, Gemini-Style
As I mentioned in my last article, there's presently little need to make decisive calls that would immediately shut down the multiplicity of options.
With Mars entering Gemini on Monday (May 11) and thus 'reporting' (by dispositorship) to a Mercury-in-Gemini soon to begin a 3½-week retrograde (on Mon May 18), this is not the ideal time to choose one thing over another.
Instead, these next several weeks are perfect for getting ourselves to think about alternatives, variations, detours, and departures which might pique our interest, break limiting mental habits, and/or connect us with inspiring new characters.
Catching our Breath, Chewing on Possibilities
Now, on the other side of March's 'crazy-active' astrology (which I described here and here), we have a few moments to catch our collective breath.
The current vibe is significantly more grounding and slower-paced, with the Sun, Mercury, and Mars all presently in Taurus, an earth-sign which typically prefers to keep its feet planted or, if they must be moved, to drag them along at a modest (or plodding) rate, to ensure each step lands safely and securely. That's a marked shift from last month's hyper-Aries influence, which was, for better and/or for worse, a more 'act first and ask questions later' energy.
This is not to imply, of course, we have a total absence of notable planetary aspects. As I write this, Mercury and Mars are conjunct in Taurus (exact today, Apr 22), after both having recently formed squares to Jupiter in Leo.
The Begrudging Importance of Being Human
It is no accident that my longest recent lapse in writing (other than the steady stream of horoscopes) coincided with the most 'crazy-active' astrology of the year.
As a combination 'professional astro-scribe' and 'humble participant in humanity', I sometimes find my attentions split between these jobs.
How sincerely heartfelt will my writings be if I feign superhuman detachment from the influences in question, as so many 'experts' do in adopting that oh-so-evolved authorial tone which reifies their observations and experiences as some cosmic truth?

Plans for Britain's first new nuclear power station for a generation could be delayed by a legal challenge by the Austrian government, which claims that Britain has pledged an illegal subsidy. Austria yesterday lodged an appeal at the European Court of Justice against the European Commission, which approved the government's plan to pay EDF double the present market price of electricity for 35 years for power from Hinkley Point C in Somerset. Werner Faymann, the Austrian chancellor, said: "Subsidies are there to support modern technologies that lie in the general interest
The National Trust is to invest £30 million in renewable energy schemes at dozens of its properties as part of efforts to reduce fuel bills. More than 40 castles, stately homes and country properties have been identified as suitable sites for sources of renewable energy. In one, a project will extract heat from a lake, while others include a hydropower scheme with historical links and biomass boilers to cut down on oil use. The move comes after a £3.5 million pilot project with the renewable energy company Good Energy two years ago, in which five schemes were successfully
The Archbishop of Canterbury has attacked plans by oil companies to begin drilling in the Arctic. The Most Rev Justin Welby, who worked in the oil industry before he was ordained, said that he was concerned by how difficult it would be to contain and clean up an oil spill should there be an accident in the region. Shell is expected to begin drilling in the Arctic this month after its plans were approved by the US government. A fifth of the world's undiscovered gas and oil is believed to lie in the Arctic.

Drivers face paying an extra £100 a year for fuel because Germany and Italy are seeking to use loopholes to "game" a new fuel economy test. The two countries, acting on behalf of their carmakers, want to be able to continue to use four loopholes that allow them to pass the existing test. The loopholes, such as using a sloping test track and starting the test with a fully charged battery, would make it easier for manufacturers to meet the European Union's target for reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of the average new car. Because emissions are directly related to f

Epidemiological study has identified certain risk factors that increase the possibility that a woman will get breast cancer, although not all women with breast cancer have these traits, and many women with all of these traits do not develop the disease. Risk factors include age (the incidence of breast cancer is rare in women under 35—most cases occur in women over 60); a history of breast cancer in a close blood relative; and a history of breast cancer or benign proliferative breast disease. A high cumulative exposure to female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) appears to increase the risk of some breast cancers. Hormonally related risk factors include early menarch (before age 12), late menopause (after age 55), having no children or postponing childbirth, and obesity in women over 50.
Many other possible associations are under study, such as those relating to postmenopausal estrogen replacement, alcohol and fat consumption, lack of exercise, and exposure to pesticides and other environmental chemicals. A 2002 report on the association of estrogen replacement therapy with an increased risk of breast cancer led to a large drop in prescriptions for the drugs used in such therapy; a coincident drop in the incidence of breast cancer tumors, especially estrogen-positive tumors, which apparently could not be accounted for by other causes, strongly suggested a link between the two. Tumors in women of African descent are known to be particularly aggressive.
Like all cancers, breast cancers result from changes in the structure or function of genes that are key to the regulation of cellular growth, differentiation, or repair. Acquired changes in a number of specific genes have been associated with the disease; these are changes that occur during a person's lifetime but are not inherited or passed on. About 5% of women with breast cancer have an inherited susceptibility to the disease, and most of these women have an inherited mutation in one of two genes. In 1994 it was discovered that women who inherit a mutated BRCA1 gene have an almost 85% chance of developing breast cancer and an increased chance of developing uterine cancer. BRCA1 normally acts to prevent tumors by repairing damage to the genetic material caused by oxidation, a chemical process that in the body occurs naturally during metabolism. Defective BRCA1 genes cannot repair this damage, allowing its effects to accumulate over time. Cells with oxidative damage to the genes that control their growth can proliferate, or become cancerous. The defective gene can be inherited from either parent, but appears to cause breast cancer only in women. Young women who get breast cancer often come from families that carry a BRCA1 mutation. BRCA1 mutations account for about half of known hereditary breast cancers. Another gene, named BRCA2, has also been identified. BRCA2 mutations have been associated with both female and rare male breast cancers. The two genes may also play a role in some ovarian cancers and sporadic (nonhereditary) breast cancer cases.
Monthly breast self-examination and regular mammography are the recommended methods of breast cancer early detection. The first sign of breast cancer may be a lump in the breast; a thickening, swelling, or dimpling; skin irritation or scaliness; pain; or a discharge or tenderness of the nipple. A biopsy can rule out or confirm a malignancy. A major recent study has shown that the drug tamoxifen can prevent breast cancer in women considered at high risk of developing the disease.
In most cases, treatment for breast cancer begins with surgical excision of the tumor. Modern treatment attempts to preserve as much tissue as possible for both functional and cosmetic reasons. This may mean a lumpectomy (simple excision of only the cancerous tumor) or mastectomy (excision of part or all of the breast tissue, sometimes with adjacent muscle). The lymph nodes under the arm are often excised in a procedure known as an axillary dissection. In some cases, chemotherapy and external beam radiation therapy or radioactive isotopes implanted directly into the area of the cancer, are used in addition to or instead of surgery. Hormone therapy in the form of ovary removal or a drug such as tamoxifen or anastrozole is sometimes used to slow the growth of or prevent recurrence of hormonally sensitive tumors. Bone marrow transplantation is sometimes used when bone marrow that has been destroyed by large doses of chemotherapy or radiation therapy needs to be replaced.
Many women who have had a mastectomy decide to have breast reconstruction surgery. This reconstruction is done with breast implants or the patient's own tissue. Due to the controversy over silicone implants, saline-filled implants were used from 1992 to 1998, but either type may be used now. Women who have had an axillary dissection often experience chronic, progressive pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected arm. Lymphedema, painful swelling of the arm, can occur after node dissection or radiation treatment of the lymph nodes. Following surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, women who had estrogen-sensitive tumors are given tamoxifen or, if they are postmenopausal, anastrozole or another aromatase inihibitor to help prevent a recurrence.

CAO Group announced the launch of the new UltraLite(TM) ALS Turbo heads, which results in twice the amount of evidence revealed. CAO's UltraLite(TM) ALS forensic light system, an industry standard and leading brand of forensic lights, now incorporates advanced Turbo light technology in six of the interchangeable heads used for various detection methods. The Turbo technology enhances detection of trace evidence, body fluids, fingerprints, blood spatter, gunshot residues and explosive accelerants. Additionally, the Turbo technology helps to reveal subcutaneous bruising, injuries and wounds on both living and dead bodies and assists in the location of evidence containing DNA. The UltraLite ALS system's main head, called the BMT(TM) Turbo head, is a universal evidence and crime scene processing light. The BMT Turbo head offers a wavelength spectrum that now shows more than 99.5% of detectable evidence, resulting in more efficient processing of crime scenes. The BMT Turbo head also produces more blue wavelength output power than any other semiconductor-based ALS. With the launch of its advanced Turbo technology, CAO is also introducing its newest specialized infrared head, which enables precise detection of altered documents and trace evidence.

Lines Lost - New Publication by artist Stuart McAdam
New publication Lines Lost by Stuart McAdam is out now!
Lines Lost is a project by artist Stuart McAdam and Deveron Arts' Walking Institute. It is a multi-layered interpretation through walking and art of the former Banff, Portsoy and Strathisla railway line. The line was closed as part of the infamous Beeching cuts which led to the closure of more than 30 per cent of British railways in the 1960s.
