I thank the noble Baroness for this. I am talking about medical professionals, and I am also talking about the moral equivalence. Can she remind me where I exactly said that?

My Lords, I will very briefly speak to Amendment 657 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Fox, to which I have added my name, to support the amendments in the name of my noble friend Lady Finlay— Amendments 268, 359, 617—and the amendment in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Cass. In particular, I think that the amendment from the noble Baroness, Lady Cass, in many ways picks up the issue highlighted in Amendment 657 —to make it explicit that an assisted death should not be seen as a form of treatment. I think that was implicit in what the noble and right reverend Lord, Lord Harries, said.
