Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion

Dr. Greg Mewett:

Our four and a half years show the statistics. The Senator cherry-picked statistics from Oregon, which has had the legislation for well over 20 years. The Senator has asked for my view and I have given it. That is my view as a palliative care physician. I do not have an open slather view. I view it purely as an end-of-life issue.
