Verbatim
“This is not about whether voluntary assisted dying should be allowed or not. The question is, how much suffering are we willing to inflict on people in order to access it?”
“I remember also people being asked to do skills that they're not insured to do or trained to do, obviously risking patient lives.”
“In December I stood on the picket lines outside my university alongside my lecturers.”
