Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Consent and Capacity: Discussion

I would suggest that there would be no compulsion on doctors. The person's values, prior statement and advanced wishes need to be taken into account and respected, where possible, but there is no obligation on doctors to comply unless it is a refusal of treatment.
