Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Healthcare Professionals and Assisted Dying: Discussion

Dr. Cameron McLaren:

I am sure it has been utilised but being able to do that has shown real strength. I think that could be extrapolated. If one has the concern of not having a prognosis but having severe suffering, maybe that is where the discretion of the board might be able to come in to provide individual access. That is for the committee and Ireland to consider. That would be something that could also protect against people who might not have that prognosis but who are in every other context suitable, eligible and deserving of legislation like this.
