I thank Ms Hall for her presentation. It is difficult to argue with and challenge it. Ms Hall can see from our responses that we are trying to think of what questions can be asked. Regarding compassion, and if someone presented to Disability Action who was in agony, had an horrendous quality of life and had made the decision to go because he or she could not live like that anymore, how would Ms Hall feel about that? This person wants to go because he or she cannot stick the physical pain anymore and knows that he or she will go anyway. There are many illnesses. If someone with terminal cancer has, for example, rheumatoid arthritis, the pain is unbearable and can drive a person insane. What would Ms Hall's feelings on that be?
