Yes, in terms of people refusing treatment. I would be more concerned about the intergenerational impact of watching someone starve or watching someone choose pain to die without medication. Is Dr. Ní Bhriain as concerned about that? Does she see that potentially a more caring system in very limited circumstances would actually have less of an intergenerational impact than the only option being the refusal of treatment?
