Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Engagement with People with Disabilities
Mr. Peter Kearns:
Again, we are talking about the language, whether assisted dying or assisted suicide. On language in terms of the word "disability", are we talking about impairment labels? When we talk about disability, we are talking about disabling barriers. They are two different things. If you want to put it in legislation that people's impairment labels are not included in this discourse, that is different.
