I will ask Dr. Finegan to comment on that point, when we are speaking about just that particular period of time when death is imminent and the person has decided for themselves that they are in intolerable pain or suffering. We have heard about Canada and the Netherlands where they are looking at very different stages in people's lives under very different circumstances. Does Dr. Finegan feel that is a stable middle ground?
