Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Religious, Faith-Based and other Philosophical Perspectives on Assisted Dying: Discussion

Ms Petra Conroy:

That is where we would probably differ. I am sorry to take all of the Senator's time but I would say that once two different categories of people have been introduced, one is putting somebody who would never choose that option in a position where they know they belong to that group of people, and that if I, in a moment of pain or whatever, ask for that, I will not be given that raft of care. It does affect people and categorise them into two different groups.
