My first questions are for the Irish College of General Practitioners. Do the representatives accept there are circumstances where modern medicine cannot ameliorate somebody's end-of-life circumstances? A small proportion of people will die very difficult deaths. In those circumstances, they should have a choice and a right to have a say in how they will die, although, obviously, that is what we are grappling with. Do the representatives accept there are circumstances where modern medicine cannot ameliorate suffering, especially in the context of end-of-life care?
