I would condemn a situation like that around any patient but I do not think that there is necessarily an either-or. By having the option of assisted dying, it does not mean that person would not be enveloped in the care that is absolutely essential to their dignity right up until and including that moment where they exercise that right to know they will die in two months' time, unconsciously with pain management, or they will choose to say goodbye to their loved ones and have an ending of their choice.
