Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Access to Palliative Care and Social Supports: Discussion

Dr. Hannah Linane:

I do no think it is a matter of right or wrong. The issue is much more complex. We would have concerns. In 2021, a poll was done in the UK which showed that over half of people thought that assisted dying actually meant that a person had the right to refuse licensing measures or hospice care. I would hope that people understand their options around end of life.
