This is a very important way of ensuring that we have an effective check, maximizing the chances that consent did occur and minimizing the risks to vulnerable people. It is a requirement that a person self-administer in cases where they are able to. It would set a default toward assisted suicide unless the person were not able to self-administer; then in that case, there would be euthanasia. Obviously, for somebody who is capable of self-administering, under this legislation as it's written, they have the option of accessing this service in one of two ways.
The advantage of requiring self-administration is that it absolutely minimizes the risk that it will happen to someone without their consent. It ensures that at that moment a person's life is taken, you have clear contemporaneous consent. I think that's a good thing. I think that achieves objectives that we should all agree are important.
