Summarize his concern
So u mentioned you want me to give ur mum an overdose so she can peacefully transition or pass on… this is called Euthanasia, meaning mercy killing and this is a crime in the UK
Quote the Suicide act of 1961 which criminalizes all forms of Euthanasia and it is punishable by law with a minimum of life imprisonment
If he mentions that he lives in Sweden where Euthanasia is legal and he’s the LPA,and asked u to organize for his mum to be flown there for the procedure

I can see that u are really keen on ur decision however I need to tell u that Assisted Euthanasia is also punishable in the UK by a minimum of 14 years imprisonment and I’m afraid I would not be able to help u with that.
If he offers you money…reject it.
I’m so sorry I’m not able to help u in the way u would love but if theres any other thing I can help u with, I’ll be glad to help
