Mr. Seymour has been at this issue for a considerable amount of time. It has taken a referendum and legislation. There are those who are opposed to assisted dying and we have the same voices here. I disagree with their opposition to it but I respect their opposition. Some of the issues they raise in a very concerned way are with regard to safeguards whereby people would not be coerced into taking such a fundamental choice in their life. What safeguards has the legislation put in place to prevent the possibility of somebody being coerced?
