Mr. Michael Nugent:

We support the right of those with disabilities to the best quality care for those disabilities just as we support the best possible quality of care for those who want palliative care. We are not opposed to any of those things. The point that only a small number of people may be involved goes to the core of the issue because we see this as a human rights issue and the purpose of human rights treaties under international human rights law is to protect individuals from the tyranny of the majority. Even if the rights of only one person are being infringed, those rights should be vindicated. The issue of the number of people involved is a distraction.
