“Order, order. “I would say we still have to try to stick to the time limits.” “I am amazed at how many people contact me about their terminally ill loved ones starving to death, and this is now legal. And doctors must help patients through this painful process. “How can we allow this if it is not a compassionate and humane assisted death?” “here.” “My daughter Maria lived with severe disabilities and health problems. Since we were born, we have been told several times that we will only live for another six months. She lived 27 years.

And what happens to people like Maria if they are not loved and cared for and have no one to speak for them?” “here.” “It was a very thoughtful five minutes. thank you David Davis.” “The right-wing vote is 330. The opposite on the left is 275. Yes, yes. Yes. Open up.” ” What I mean is, I absolutely respect the people who opposed it and the heartfelt reasons why they opposed it. But this has always been about choice. And they still have a choice. But Now we are too and I am very emotional.”
