Conflict of interest statement
Competing interests: HLT: None declared.CR: I am not a member of any advocacy group related to assisted dying. I provide content for the website www.kadoh.uk which receives no external funding and for which I receive no payment. KADOH proposes a socio-legal alternative to the medical model of assisted dying and consequently presents the evidence around existing medical models; it is not a board, society, committee or advocacy group and has no membership. From January to April 2024, I was a member of the contents group for the Nuffield Bioethics project on assisted dying, but received no funding, honourarium or payment for this work. I have lectured on the current evidence around assisted dying on the Isle of Man and in Edinburgh. These were personally funded and I received no fee, travel or accommodation costs from any advocacy group. I have given Zoom lectures on the current evidence around assisted dying to hospices and other interested groups, provided free.
