That's just a fundamentally flawed comment. What we know from other colleagues working right now with individuals who are choosing assisted death is that it is an onerous and expensive and deeply daunting prospect to go before a court. To me, to add on that layer of administrative and bureaucratic and legal procedure is not necessary. We have already gone above and beyond the procedures required in any other case of informed consent. To go farther than that provides no real benefit but imposes a substantial burden on people who are already grievously ill and dealing with great suffering.
