Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Assisted Dying in Canada: Discussion
Professor Jocelyn Downie:
No to the latter. To the former, there would be some protests as Parliament is considering different changes. To the Deputy's other questions, it was prohibited to assist somebody prior to the Carter case. There was a prohibition under the criminal code for anyone to assist someone to end their life by suicide. Ending your life by suicide, however, was not illegal.
