Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tom Curran:

I do not think we are in particular danger. It is a problem but it is a problem society needs to address, irrespective of assisted suicide. If we are making people feel they are a burden, it should not happen, irrespective of whether assisted suicide exists. Society needs to look at that.
