I thank everybody for attending the committee. It is a fascinating debate. This issue is more about living than dying in some ways. I read Marie's book several months ago and it was one of the best books I have read in a long time. What I got from Marie's words was that she did not want to die but wanted to live. However, because of circumstances not of her choosing, she wanted to end her life in dignity. That is a fundamental question to ask oneself.

Are there any circumstances where somebody in a medical professional's care or another health care surrounding has the fundamental right to end their life in the way they want? I believe somebody should have the right to die the way they want. Are there any circumstances where somebody who is in pain and suffering can end their life by means of their choosing, rather than nature taking its course?
