Following advances made by the euthanasia agenda in the United Kingdom, Ireland is now slated to consider legalizing “assisted dying,” despite the concerns raised by Christians.
Earlier this year, a majority of the Dáil (Ireland’s lower chamber of parliament) voted to approve a committee report recommending legalizing “assisted dying.” While any change to Ireland’s law would need to be passed by both chambers of the Oireachtas (Ireland’s parliament), some legislators have already introduced bills to legalize the practice. “What is being suggested in this report is that in certain limited, certain circumstances, that you could assist somebody into the journey of death and that there would not be any legal penalty for it,” said parliamentarian Michael Healy-Rae. He added, “It is a very serious move.”
