Ms Petra Conroy:

If I go to my doctor and ask for something much less contentious such as antibiotics, and that is my wish and I want antibiotics for myself, the doctor will take into account whether that is good for me or whether what I have is a virus and the antibiotics will not help me but he will also take into account the whole of society and how giving me antibiotics will affect that. Likewise, deciding that a certain category of people can be supported in ending their life affects other people who might never decide that but they know they are in a different category, in a second-class category.

My point is that those arguments are not based on religion. I am not presenting a religious case. I am presenting a case that I think a person from any background could either agree with or disagree with but I am not presenting a Catholic view.
