Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) BillContribution
I argue that AAC users may be perfectly capable of understanding processes and information, but the communication of their views and wishes is far too often ignored and they are not given the time and support to be aired. These populations would undoubtedly require assistance from others to navigate the process, yet it is not clear how they can go about seeking such assistance, from whom and at what stage, nor that there are safeguards in place so that we know the person being spoken for has clearly decided to end their own life.
