What about quality of life?

How do the witnesses recommend us to look at that? Senator Mullen discussed the experience of his father. There is the experience of the End of Life Ireland representative, who discussed his wife. They are very different perceptions of quality of life. That is where it is a subjective experience. How do we legislate for subjectivity?
