I asked about the performative aspect of talking about unbearable suffering. I want to ask another question while Professor O'Neill gathers his thoughts. It is clear that he and others do not believe in safeguards being possible in the event of a change in the law, or that there is certainty that they would be eroded. Does Professor O'Neill think there would be a shift in the attitudes of the State towards the funding of things like palliative care and supports for people with life-limiting conditions, including disability at various levels, of the kind that has been discussed by Dr. Hartney and others?
