Professor Arulkumaran is probably aware that the Citizens' Assembly insisted on risk rather than substantial risk being considered. It was the citizens participating in the assembly who did not want the words "substantial" or "real" being included. Does he think that would be wise and that risk alone should be the basis of any health-based ground for abortion?
