I, too, fear downward pressure on the age limit; I will not repeat the arguments made. We have not yet reached the groups where capacity will be discussed, but I believe that we need to think particularly about eating disorders in the context of age limits. As CLADD has laid out clearly, issues of capacity will be particularly difficult for this miserable group of disorders, which are relatively common among teenagers. CLADD notes that international practice shows that people with anorexia have been found to have capacity to end their lives using assisted dying frameworks.
