Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Developing a Legal Framework for Assisted Dying: Discussion

Professor Mary Donnelly:

I think it goes down to 12 in the Netherlands and Belgium. Professor Jones will probably be able to correct me if I am wrong. There are, however, additional kinds of safeguards. They are different measures and there is a different level at 16, and different levels again, working down the age groups. Professor Jones may correct me in respect of those ages.
