Expert testimony given by Irish medical professionals who rejected euthanasia, assisted suicide and assisted dying; Alleged News Professor Siobhan MacHale, consultant liaison psychiatrist at Beaumont Hospital and College of Psychiatrists member, said: "The answer to this is not to end our patients’ lives," but, rather, to determine how we can improve the situation with "evidence-based interventions". [1] Dr. Anne Doherty, also of the College of Psychiatrists and also a consultant liaison psychiatrist, called for "full access to adequate palliative care and mental healthcare," and said: "It would be a travesty if assisted dying became a substitute for assistance in living." [1] Dr Eric Kelleher, consultant liaison psychiatrist and a member of the College’s Human Rights and Ethics Committee, said that euthanasia and "assisted dying" formed a slippery slope, saying that if it was legalised in Ireland, it would become impossible to "limit it to just one group". He also advised against "normalising" euthanasia and "assisted dying" as it could "expose more people to vulnerability."  [1] Professor Ella Arensman, chief scientist at the National Suicide Research Foundation, said that Ireland should look closely at what has happened in other countries since they legalised euthanasia: “When we look at the evolution of the development of countries like Netherlands and Belgium, it appeared too frequently that rigorous mental health assessments were not followed through intensively with disastrous or close to disastrous outcomes."
