Assisted Dying Stalled in Parliament | Cork News

from Cork News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Two years after a special committee delivered 38 detailed recommendations for assisted dying legislation, the Irish government remains silent—citing complexity—but lawmakers are growing frustrated, demanding clarity. While countries like Switzerland and Canada have legalized it, even the UK is delaying action, focusing instead on palliative care. The report, which proposed assisted dying for those with terminal illnesses or certain neurodegenerative conditions, was officially noted by the Dáil last October. Now, pressure mounts for the government to either act or explain why they’re letting this critical issue linger. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
