Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion
Lynn Ruane (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I will repeat the question, which was around whether palliative care can substantively address the needs of the person, whether they regard someone's existential fears, or anything like that. Obviously, there will be a group of people whose existential dread and fear is associated with the idea of not being able to die within their own decision-making, and under assisted dying. How does palliative care address someone's existential fear, which is to stay alive regardless of any sort of care they are provided with?
