Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Protecting Autonomy and Assessing Decision-making Capacity: Discussion
Dr. Stephen Duckworth:
Yes. They obviously have to make their own decisions about their legislation. The legislation has had its Second Reading, as I understand it. Scotland is also looking very closely at this and there will be a Bill coming before parliament in Scotland soon. We are becoming more and isolated in more affluent countries compared to our neighbours. It will inevitably have some influence but it is up to the politicians to decide.
