Dr. Hannah Linane:

Our position is that this is a complex issue.

We would feel there are no safeguards that would ensure there are no deaths of people who may not have made that choice if they were supported in other ways. It is complex in that suffering is not just physical. As I mentioned last week, there is a psychological component. There might be a financial component and societal supports. It is such a complex issue that you would be looking at it case by case. We are concerned there is too high a risk that people would die who may have been supported better.
