Professor O'Neill noted that the decriminalisation of assisted suicide "was certainly never seen to be an expression of a societal desire to extend access to suicide as a human right, or to position suicide as an act that equality legislation might facilitate".

Does Dr. Campbell have any concerns about the potential normalisation of the act of suicide and bridging the gap in terms of the arguments in the paper?
