View source for Re Spaas (2013) MHLO 74 (LPA)

''The donor of a Health and Welfare LPA included the following provision: "If I become completely mentally or physically incapable for example being unable to recognise my daughter then I wish steps to be taken to end my life as quickly and painlessly as possible.  It that was not possible, I would wish the minimum medical intervention possible.  I would not want my life unnecessarily prolonged."  On the application of the Public Guardian the words from "steps to be taken" to "I would wish" were severed.  The donor may have been envisaging assisted suicide, which is unlawful (see [[Re Gardner (2011) COP 6/7/11]]) or even expressing a wish for her life to be terminated by others in circumstances which would involve a criminal offence.''
