What I am struggling with is that it is very hard to think about a system that excludes people based on disability. It is also very hard to think of an assisted dying system that does not have safeguards outside of legislation. There is something we are missing in terms of being able to look at those things in parallel to each other, or as one thing after the other. It is something that still is not straight in my head, in understanding how to achieve that.
