Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying in Europe: Discussion

Mr. Silvan Luley:

There is no evidence that the numbers using Dignitas have exploded. That is mainly to do with us being a victim of our success. So many more countries have legalised assisted dying during the past 25 years. As soon as it is legalised in a country and the more progressive and liberal the law is, the fewer people turn to Dignitas.
