Debate
Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
It is sometimes surprising when one reads in the newspapers of, for instance, a mother whose child fell seriously ill having not taken the MMR vaccine because of the belief that it was connected to autism. That was debunked many years ago. It is for that reason that we must look at what an informed wish is. What is informed consent? This is a very important issue—one that will, I believe, come up again in our debates on other amendments.
