i know i know...but this person has done worse things and the genral thought is, if they can pass uni, they'll be in better posistion to make up for they're other misstakes, if not im scared they'll fall into more depression etc.

I do give a shit mate, don't get me wrong and seriously I don't think people think it's ok to cheat, they just do it regardless because they can, the guilt subsides and they learn to live with it.
But I see your point Rutita1, there's only such much of other peoples' stuff you can worry about.
Who said cheating is fine? Not me, so put your sarcastic rolling eyes back in your patronising little head.
I've accepted the fact that people cheat and get by without doing the work themselves because regardless of what I think they will still do it. It's nothing new by the way it goes on in all walks of life and has done forever.
I wrote my own dissertation, wouldn't have dreamed of cheating or getting someone else to do it for me. But I am me. Having a fit about other people's crapness is a distraction I can do without.
A year? Bleedin ell - is that normal for undergrads nowadays? I got off very lightly with mine I think: at 6-7000 words, it seemed more like an essay in which you didn't have to worry about rambling too much and going over the word count. And the basic solution to my dissertation problem came to me in a dream! Got the whole thing done in a couple of weeks (and I'm usually an painfully slow, methodical writer).

This MA dissertation's gonna be a lot tougher, but still only got a few months to write it in.
As for getting your dissertation written by someone else... well, it seems like a cop-out and I wouldn't do it myself, but I don't know the circumstances and can't be arsed to argue. I just wanted to talk about dissertations for a minute
I have been researching and slowly writing and rewriting mine for almost a year now.
It doesn't just make me mad to think that somebody else could get somebody else to do it, but that they would. I am so interested in what I am writing, and proud of what I have written so far. Its incomprehensible to me that somebody would do this.
Depends on the uni and the course. For example, I've heard some awful things about UCL. Not giving extensions when someone's mother died for example.
