I will explain why I will speak in this case. I am not participating, except on this section, for a particular reason. I believe a conscientious objection is an honourable thing to have and I will explain why. I take that view in respect of pharmacists, doctors and attendants who bring the patient to the operating theatre. They can conscientiously object and say they will not do that.

I will speak on my own position and want a bit of indulgence here because I did not take time at all.
