“My own view is that the Department of Health's National Advisory Committee on Bioethics has contributed significantly to bioethical debate in Ireland, with its work on the use of nudging in public health, on the ethical issues in detention of voluntary and involuntary patients in mental health institutions and on specific consent for blood transfusion.”
What Andrew Green has said
“The BMA remains neutral to the central question around assisted dying – that is whether the law should change or not. However, as the voice of doctors, who in turn are advocates for patients, where there are moves to change the law, we will not stay silent on an issue that will significantly impact the profession and those we care for.”
