They did have evidence from Tom Shakespeare and Miro Griffiths though, so not completely without representation of different perspectives from disability community

I respectfully disagree with Tom Shakespeare though - I do think that if a person with anorexia is effectively dying through lack of nutrition, then that could be categorised as terminal illness, and it is not 'only' because of mental disorder but the other physical disorders linked to that.
I also wonder what happens in cases like the 'Sparkles' case in the Court of Protection where someone has made a failed suicide attempt and is refusing life-saving interventions (e.g. dialysis) - would that constitute terminal illness for the purposes of the Bill?
