Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Examination of Potential Consequences - Protecting and Enhancing the Provision of Palliative Care: Discussion
Dr. Matthew Dor?:
I take that. I know Senator Mullen does not want to conflate, but I cannot help but conflate because I have patients who tell me I am a nuisance. One of the most commonly written sentence in suicide letters is, "You're better off without me." According to their own statistics, 48% are a burden. That is nearly half who are saying they feel a burden to family and friends, so how can we ignore that?
