Dr. Faith Cranfield:

It could spoil palliative care. We do not exist as anything without looking after our patients. The presence of a choice makes our work more difficult but that is not our concern. Our biggest concern is exactly as has been described by the Senator. I go back to the case of Mary. She looks after her family but at the point where she was overwhelmed, she was not able to do that anymore. She did not know herself anymore because of the physical symptoms-----
