Someone may have asked Dr. McKeown O’Donovan this already, and it is on the record, so it is fine. She said the term “assisted dying” refers to “the active assistance to die given to someone who is already dying, and the dying person is the one who directly self-administers the life ending-substance”. The obvious question, as in the Marie Fleming case, is if someone not in a position to self-administer. Did Dr. McKeown O’Donovan deal with that?
