Political Campaigning
Exit’s foremost political aim is to ensure that right to die legislation is passed in Ireland. Any law that implemented must have a human rights focus and so not be limited to solely terminally ill people. The right to a good death is a fundamental human right of all rational adults. Exit avocates for the introduction of a Swiss-style law where help depends upon the motive of the person assisting, rather than the terminal illness status of the patient requesting medical help.
For more than a decade, Tom Curran has led Exit’s work across the Irish political divide.
Exit Public Meetings
Prior to Covid, Exit held regular free and open Public Meetings discussing the political history of the end of life choices debate and a person’s right to choose. For more than a decade, Tom Curran has been a highly-sought after speaker on the issue of the right to die, often appearing at university debates, public lectures, festivals as well as commenting widely in the Irish and international media.
