There will be difficult choices that people have to make when they are ill. For example, if you have a brain tumour that is going to kill you, should you have a very difficult operation? If you have cancer, should you go on taking palliative chemotherapy, which may be very distressing in a number of respects? The way the Bill is drafted means that this should not be available for people with a type 1 diabetes situation and it should not be compelling people to take very difficult and distressing decisions about health. I strongly support that approach.
