When Dr. McHale says it is not possible, in what circumstances is it not possible? Has she seen any evidence in other jurisdictions where maybe it has worked and it is possible? I think people will understand the point that is being made and the evidence that is being presented to us to the effect that if we legislate for assisted dying and there are circumstances in which - and I think Dr. McHale agreed with it - people have all of the supports, have the clarity of mind and make a decision, there is a concern about the unintended consequences that would have on others. Are there any circumstances, from Dr. McHale's perspective, in which we would legislate to deal with and differentiate between those two areas?
