There is much to be celebrated in medical developments and treatments which give real choices to people challenged with life-limiting and terminal health conditions. Those seeking an assisted death need to know about them. For example, why would anyone be aware of improvements in, say, ventilation unless they, a family member or friend receive that benefit? Indeed, medical professionals in other specialities are also unlikely to know about them. But knowledge is power; it eases anxiety and it offers hope. To paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, “You don’t know what you don’t know”.
