Dr. Jacqueline Montwill:

I can answer that. Colleagues have already stated that they want to have a panel of doctors who will not obstruct the process. I presume, therefore, that there will be some kind of bias. The second issue is that, as we have stated from the beginning, there is no way we can say which patient will kill herself. To be honest, I am not sure how many women with a crisis pregnancy have committed suicide. However, we can never say that it could not happen. Under the proposed legislation, if a woman tells the panel she will kill herself, what psychiatrist can say she will not kill herself?
