Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Protecting Autonomy and Assessing Decision-making Capacity: Discussion (7 Nov 2023)

John Lahart: I thank the witnesses. One of the problems in the committee is that when new witnesses some in, and I speak for myself, I find myself oscillating, which I think is reasonable, forwards and back - I will not say between fixed positions - but it is interesting. That is why this committee was established. It is to tease some of these issues out. Therefore, if I come with a perspective that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: I thank the witnesses. I really enjoyed their contributions. On the Northern Ireland humanist contribution, I am fascinated by the evidence in the statement on religion and non-practising of religion and connecting it with decisions around this.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: A colleague has said that a narrow form of assisted dying might be pursued for a principled or strategic reason.

All I can do is to speak...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying: Assisted Dying and the Ethics of Autonomy: Discussion (24 Oct 2023)

John Lahart: I kind of feel picked on now so I will just clarify where I am coming from. We have very limited time here and the slippery slope encapsulates a much broader and more complex argument. One of the things I noted in the Canadian evidence is that Canada is in a different space culturally from Ireland. We may be in that space in 20 or 30 years. The "slippery slope" is a loose but legitimate...
