Seanad
‹ Order of Business Euthanasia and suicide
Summary
Senators dispute whether suicide should be criminalised, with Senator Walsh arguing that people in distress cannot make such decisions responsibly.
When people are in a distressed state, they are in no position to make any major decision, let alone the decision to take their own lives, and it is irresponsible of Senators to propose it. This is the brave new world they are trying to usher in, and in many other ways also.
