In your report on page 40, it is stated that “it is difficult, if not impossible, for clinicians to make accurate predictions about the future of an individual patient.” How do you square that with the statutory requirement? It seems to be logically inconsistent to say, on the one hand, that it may be impossible to predict and, as you know, in order to satisfy “irremediable”, it must be established that the person is suffering from an incurable illness, is in an irreversible state of decline and, of course, is enduring intolerable suffering.
I'm having a real tough time squaring this.
