It's an emotive subject but how about we leave the choice to those in the firing line? It is not compulsory.
And your point on it not being compulsory is exactly my point - people lacking capacity or who are coerced are going to be murdered by their relatives/next of kin for reasons I have set out above without some very very stringent safeguards, safeguards that are not present in the draft legislation laid down, and the need for them is treated with more than a degree of flippancy by a fair chunk of the bill’s supporters
