It is interesting. The proponents of the argument consider it from the point of view of the rights of the individual - I am an individual, I am autonomous, I have rights and I should be allowed to do what I wish to do. Ms Hall's contribution is valuable. As legislators, we have to take into account society and broader groups within it. I suspect that many people who are disabled do not have the same opportunity to voice concerns that they may have with legislation such as this.
