Let's just remind ourselves what Lord Joffe said when answering Question 89 on THURSDAY 16 SEPTEMBER 2004. Lord Joffe:

"I have been criticised by many people who have supported the principle of assisted dying over the fact that in their view the Bill does not go far enough, that it should go a great deal further, and that many of the safeguards are not necessary. I feel, however, that we are starting off; this is a first stage; it is new territory."
