Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Safeguarding Medical Professionals: Discussion

Professor Harvey Chochinov:

I apologise for being too verbose. My objections are on medical grounds. If you are going to go this route I would encourage you to think about the larger issue of suffering. If you are intent on trying to address suffering, think about ways in which you can meet the needs of the vast majority of individuals.
