I will ask the following more broadly of the other witnesses. Consider a situation where somebody is in severe pain as the result of a motor neuron disease for which there is no cure. Perhaps that person is approaching the last three or four months of their lives, has had counselling and as much treatment as they are going to get. Let us say such a person has three months left to live. Having dealt with people in those circumstances, do our guests think there are circumstances in which they would be in favour of allowing the option of assisted dying? Is it just a blanket "No"? That question is also aimed at the witnesses joining us online.
