Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying in Canada: Discussion

Dr. Heidi Janz:

I want to emphasise two things brought up by Professor Lemmens. First, it was a lower court decision that has brought Canada to where we are. Second, every national disability rights organisation in Canada begged - and I mean begged - the government to appeal its decision. The government refused. That is why we are where we are. Please Ireland, listen to your disabled people.
