Professor Max Watson:

I would hate to see that happening as well. We are with people. I struggle with this issue. I learn from our colleagues in New Zealand where that division has occurred and it has been really difficult. It is in the nitty-gritty of how we legislate and how we take account of the processes and procedures and allow for conscience and the opportunity to have assisted dying alongside palliative care. I have not seen examples of that working well but if the committee is committed to it, then it has to be part of a discussion and working it through.
