I have added my name to Amendments 71, 79 and 90 in the name of my noble friend Lady Finlay of Llandaff. Amendment 71 is important because treatments which reverse or slow the effects of a terminal illness are being developed all the time. Patients who would once have feared choking due to swallow deterioration can now receive nutrition through a simple device, yet still taste food and even drink wine safely. Ventilators like mine are now commonplace and easily transportable. They offset debilitating shortness of breath and improve ability to talk.
