I probably should have put this question to the previous guests. This is probably out of Professor Lewis's remit but I would like to ask about the online availability of drugs individuals could use to end their own lives. Obviously, one can get almost anything online these days. When individuals wish to end their own lives outside the jurisdiction of the law in their own country and take the matter into their own hands, how prevalent is that phenomenon, in Professor Lewis's medical and professional opinion?
