00:29get to a certain age, call it a day, then I agree with it, but it just depends on the

00:35I was listening to it on the radio this morning, it's very difficult to legislate about exactly

00:38how assisted dying should be made legal.

00:45by which it becomes employed is a very complex area, but I think that will take a lot of,
