I just do not understand how Professor Madden could say it is just a small minority if she does not see a distinction between a person refusing treatment and a person being entitled to ask for help. I put it to both Professor Donnelly and Professor Madden, why do they believe we should just be talking about a small minority if they feel that people should have a right to have their lives ended?
