I would like a very short answer, Mr. Scher, to understand what you just said.
I have read Carter many times. My understanding of Carter is that absolutely the court did not say that there was any right for people who were not competent to pronounce themselves at the time to physician-assisted dying, because they were confining themselves to the people involved in this case, who were both mentally competent.
I agree with you that there was no substantive right that the court recognized, but it sounded to me as if you said the court said that you absolutely couldn't. Obviously, you acknowledge that there is a political choice that could be made to have advance directives that wouldn't be in violation of a court ruling. Is this correct? What you were trying to state was that the court never recognized a right for that subcategory of people in Carter, because they were confining themselves to the people involved in the case.
