noel conway is almost com pletely justice. getting progressively weaker. so what does he see as his options now? for me to have my ventilator removed at some stage. it would be a terrible experience for my wife and family, not knowing whether i could hear them, not knowing how long it would ta ke them, not knowing how long it would take before i expired. it provides a com pletely take before i expired. it provides a completely different experience and opportunity of end of life, whereby i would be in control of that and i could say now i wish to end my life. i would not be semiconscious. what would you say to people who while they may have very great sympathy for you will say that the law is there to protect the vulnerable, and it should be maintained as it is because otherwise a right to die could be turned into a duty today and people might feel pressured?” would agree that the weak and vulnerable clearly do need protection from any abuse. but i think that is there. when you have two doctors who have to test you, that you ar
