I can also understand, however, the witnesses' position that there is a huge road to travel in relation to people with disabilities. "Give us a chance to have a bit of a life" was how it was put earlier. We have not given that chance to disabled people, and now they are being asked to give an opinion on assisted dying when we have not put the focus on assisted living. I completely understand that perspective.
