Just to build on that, it also allows abridgement if death or loss of capacity is imminent. It's not a blanket provision. It doesn't deal with the situation, as we heard from Mr. Fletcher's testimony, where the person who is suffering intolerably but they're not about to die, they're not about to lose capacity. Why would we prolong that? I think it's appropriate to reduce that time to 10 days.
