Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Assisted Dying in Europe: Discussion
Mr. Silvan Luley:
The numbers in Switzerland have risen over the years. Close to 1.9% to 2% of all deaths in Switzerland are by assisted suicide. Members can see the figures on the Dignitas website. We have carried out an analysis of the figures from the office of statistics. The figure has gone slightly up.
