Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Assisted Dying in the United States: Discussion
Rónán Mullen (Independent) | Oireachtas source
Does Dr. Jeanne have any sense as to why the number of people who qualify in Oregon and feel like they are a burden has increased to 46%? What does this tell him about shifts in attitude or vulnerability among people who qualify?
If I am not mistaken, there are quite a few cases where people have actually outlived the six-month predicted period. We do not know exactly how many of those who availed of assisted suicide might have lived beyond six months. Are there issues in that respect?
