I know that this may not be specifically your area as an academic and a lawyer, but my colleague here raised the question of choice. There are so many issues on which the governments of the day say that this is a question of personal choice—I'm thinking of abortion—and that a person should, in consultation with their doctor and maybe family members as well, come to those conclusions. I see parallels, of course, with this issue. This is a matter of choice. There is no circumstance that I can see where MAID is mandatory for anybody. You must ask for it. You must be counselled six ways to Sunday.
Can you talk about that, and what that means in a legal framework?
