I welcome the delegations for their presentations. We are lucky in the mid-west that we have the Milford Care Centre hospice which has allowed many people to pass away at home. Everyone in the mid-west has had some family member given assistance by this hospice.
A debate will open up shortly on euthanasia and assisted suicide. What are the views of the delegations on this? We can all have closed minds that it cannot happen. However, I believe there is going to be a strong and vigorous debate around this issue.
