Mr. Silvan Luley:

Yes, if the eligibility criteria are a problem. At the very beginning of this conversation we talked about the US law models.

These models only allow access to assisted dying for people who are judged to be terminally ill and expected to die within six months. I would not exclude people with: long-term neurological suffering; multiple sclerosis; amyotrohpic lateral sclerosis; all forms of dementia, including early stage dementia when they are still competent; all people suffering from severe psychiatric illnesses; and so on and so forth. All of these people are discriminated against in the United States and in this logic these people would then go to countries like Switzerland, where there is more freedom of choice.
