I don't think there's a problem with that, because he's continually bombarded with information about it, particularly by the media. On the other hand, for our part, we have a hard time defending the option of continuing to live.
You can ask everyone who has been involved in palliative care for the last 40 or 50 years. You mentioned Cicely Saunders the other day, as well as Balfour Mount. So far, all palliative care organizations see promoting death as something that is not part of palliative care but as a waste of valuable time. We have also heard testimony about the patients' possible momentary despair and the fact that the desire to die can fluctuate greatly from moment to moment and from day to day.
Life has a greater value than death. Death is inevitable, and palliative care recognizes this. I think saying so is not the same as saying that it is time to stop.
