Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Ethics of End-of-Life Care: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Elma Walsh:

All three people on my left have said that it is literally at the very end of life when there is nothing that can be done that they want it. Who can guarantee that will happen? Who here can guarantee that it will stay at that and that nobody else will get to benefit from the assisted dying Bill that will come in? That is my big worry. Who is to say who is at the end of life? Whose job is that?
