Madam Speaker, I once again would caution this House. If we are going to talk about advance consent, that is one thing; but if we are going to remove the need to give final consent to the issuance of death, that is another thing.
We are talking about an individual who is going to have his or her life ended. That is very final. It might be good for the medical practitioner to ask the question as to whether that patient is sure that it is indeed what he or she wants in that moment. This is common sense.
I actually take offence at the question from the member opposite, because it is an incredible degradation of human life.
