This is also really important because in the Bill at the moment there is no coronal—that is, legal—analysis of the death and civil liability has been excluded, as long as you are acting in good faith. Are you acting in good faith as a clinician if you are aware that the person in front of you has an informed wish but you also have evidence that their wish is based on a lot of false information? We really do need to consider—I have not given my noble friend Lord Wolfson notice of this point—what informed consent is in our age. Also, where is the duty to say, “I am giving you reliable information based on X, Y, and Z, peer-reviewed studies and massive cohorts of patients, but the person in front of you is acting on erroneous information”?
