Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying in Europe: Discussion

Mr. Silvan Luley:

There are more women. On average, it approximately 60% women and 40% men. Many factors influence this. One aspect is that it is known from research on suicide reduction that men are more inclined to use hard methods to end their lives. I refer to shotguns and so on. These methods might be seen as more reliable. In connection with that, another thing is that women are simply more reasonable than us men.
