There was a large amount of discussion at the eighth amendment committee about risk and practically everybody from a medical background who attended told us that this is something best decided in a clinical setting and not defined in legislation. Deleting the phrase "of serious harm" is incredibly important to support medical practitioners' decision-making. This is a key amendment.
