Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion
Gino Kenny (Dublin Mid West, People Before Profit Alliance) | Oireachtas source
I am sure in Dr. Quinlan's professional career patients have brought this issue up. It is a difficult conversation to have with somebody. The person is in a situation where they do not want to go through a period of their life and they want to forgo that. I understand this and I believe the majority of people would understand it. We are here to tease all of this out and hopefully make a recommendation of legislative change.
I understand there is a neutral position on safeguards. Safeguards are the heart of this debate. What kinds of safeguards would offer comfort to GPs around any sort of legislative changes that could happen?
