She opens by saying this law shouldn't be implemented because doctors who can potentially treat these patients for euthanasia will not know the patients well. She says case notes are notorious for being inaccurate about an individual. She proceeds to talk about autonomy, saying you need three things when it comes to taking your life; Information, the capacity to make the decision and to make that decision voluntarily without pressure. She concludes by saying euthanasia is an easy quick fix option and to not be seduced down this route.
