I thank the Professor. I have a follow-on question. I agree with his analysis of palliative care, its importance and what it does, but in his opening remarks he stated that if assisted dying is introduced, it should be an option only of last resort. I know the Professor somewhat clarified his position when he said he is not neutral, as such, but I ask him to provide examples of what he believes would be a last resort.
