Depends the aim of your curriculum. To make a metaphor: learning to become a carpenter, it is more important to know what and where to saw, than to use a handsaw properly, if you have a tablesaw at hand.

There are strict regulations for assisted suicide and while this case things went wrong, the fact the doctor is prosecuted, is due to these regulations, by the government. A patientâ(TM)s consent is the starting point. And GPs are very thorough on the procedures.
