I really hope & assume that the standard practice is for Dáil Committees to consider the evidence given to them before voting. If it isn’t the standard, apologies.

The Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (RCPI) notes the recommendations of the Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying. RCPI opposes the introduction of any legislation supportive of assisted suicide because it is contrary to best medical practice. rcpi.ie/News/statement… 1/

literature on euthanasia and practices in a minority of jurisdictions. This does little to instil confidence in @MedCouncilIRL as a focus for competence in clinical ethics... 2/2 data.oireachtas.ie/ie/oireachtas/…

Concerning that current @MedCouncilIRL doesn't recognize import of removing stricture on deliberate killing from guide - of course their predecessors knew murder and manslaughter were against the law, but maintained the stricture in terms of awareness of significant ethics 1/2

Parallel to Open Disclosure in clinical practice, the first response to serious concerns is to take them seriously, and not react in a reflex defensive manner

Exceptionally condescending of @MedCouncilIRL to label widespread ethical concerns about major ethics change as 'misinterpretation by some'.. Let's hope that this is not a sign of defensive posture rather than a listening Council willing to accept that they may have erred 1/2..

Notable that @MedCouncilIRL recognises difference between ethics and law for executions, but not when they dropped stricture against euthanasia and assisted suicide in recent edition Ethics Guidelines

Very troubling @MedCouncilIRL did not mention ethically seismic change on dropping deliberate killing of patients in 'Key Highlights of the Guide' circulated with revised guide in November - indicates poor awareness of content and tone of clinical ethics, raises questions 1/2

Increasing concern @MedCouncilIRL ethics guidelines place undue emphasis on legalism rather than broader ethics framework, particularly notable for dropping “You must not take part in the deliberate killing of a patient”: remarkably tone-deaf from ethical perspective given 1/2

PALLIATIVE CARE DOCTORS SPELL OUT THE CASE AGAINST EUTHANASIA Palliative care doctors in Ireland and the UK were before the Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying last week and very firmly and eloquently explained why they are against euthanasia. It is extremely noteworthy that…
