One of the country’s most well-known Catholic Bishops has expressed concern regarding the removal of the ban on “deliberate killing” from the ethical guidelines of the Irish Medical Council, and questioned whether the Council had decided if it was acceptable to take part in such an act.
Bishop Kevin Doran said the statement has been dropped from the 9th edition of the Guidelines and that he wondered if this was an oversight, “or is it the case that the Medical Council has now decided that it is acceptable for doctors to take part in the deliberate killing of a patient?”.
“Even if assisted suicide were to be legalised, for example, that of itself would never make the killing of patients ethical,” he said in a statement.
The Bishop also told Gript that he had heard that a large number of doctors had expressed concern to the Medical Council on the removal on the prohibition.
He said that there were, “unfortunately, numerous defects in the new edition of the Guide”.
The newly published ethical guidelines given to doctors by the Council no longer contain a prohibition on the deliberate killing of patients. While also updating guidance on conscientious objection, the new ethical code drops guidance around abortion and assisted human reproduction.
Guidance around assisted human reproduction has also been removed from the ethical guidelines by the Irish Medical Council. The obligation that doctors “must not take part in the creation of new forms of human life solely for experimental purposes – You must not engage in human reproductive cloning” – included in previous guidance – has now been scrapped.
The updated Guide to Professional Conduct and Ethics for Registered Medical Practitioners – which underpins the values and principles of being a doctor in Ireland – replaces the 8th edition, published in May 2016.
Bishop Doran said that “the sections on Assisted Human Reproduction (47) and Abortion (48), which were in the 8th edition of the Guide, have disappeared from the 9th edition.”
“This would seem to suggest that the Medical Council does not see these very significant areas of activity as involving any ethical questions or risks. Is this simply because the law in these areas has changed. Have actions which were previously unethical, and quite simply “bad medicine”, suddenly become ethical because they are now legal?” he asked.
“Under the heading of Conscientious Objection, I note that the Guide reflects recent legislation on Abortion, in that it requires doctors to “make such arrangements as may be necessary to enable the patient to obtain the required treatment”,” he said.
“I am not sure how it makes sense ethically to require a doctor to assist a patient to access a procedure which the doctor, herself or himself, regards as unethical.
These matters do not only affect doctors. These matters also impact the common good of our society by radically redefining what is “good” for us all.”
The Bishop of Elphin said she had written to the President of the Medical Council seeking clarification, but that his letter had received “neither a reply nor even an acknowledgement”.

A senior Christian clergyman has received neither neither a reply nor even an acknowledgment from the President of the medical council to his letter regarding a serous ethical issue which would be of profound implications to those of Christian faith .
I wonder if the President of the medical council would treat a senior representative of any other faith with the same contempt ? I suspect not. In fact it would be unacceptable if they did. But it is equally unacceptable that a Christian leader and the Christian faith be treated with such disdain. Christianity in Ireland may have taken a battering in the last two decades from its enemies, including those in government but those enemies have not won the day yet by a long shot and and they should damn well show some respect if they are going to trouser their pay packets , paid to them by a predominantly Christian taxpayer base , in what is still a predominantly Christian country
Its no oversight, its depopulation, they would have responded already if it was a mistake. The kakistocracy want us dead by any means necessary.
If it is intentional, then the President of the medical council would need a new title… We saw how useless the medical council was in recognizing the deaths and injuries connected to the va_ccine… or was it intentional? This latest move by the medical council would suggest to me involvement with the globalist eugenic plans! This needs to be investigated and the responsible tried and imprisoned if appropriate! The accountability falls on the presidents shoulders in my eyes! In the UK, they have postponed this investigation indefinitely, apparently in preparation for the WEF ‘X’ virus plandemic. The evidence is too overwhelming! Ireland should not postpone it! Even if our WEF young infiltrated leader resists it!
You are spot on Pat there but alas to the authorities, its an echo chamber and to us, your preaching to the choir. They will not recognize the deaths even though over 20m people were murdered by the mrna. I wont be referring to it as a vaccine because its title alone says otherwise and the neurenburg violations alone would put the lot of them in prison, nevermind the peer pressure put on people to take it. There will be no acknowledgement of it by the council or anyone else in authority because there is no law and in the back ground they are like cornered rats with nothing to say because we all know what it was all about just like marking as many deaths as possible as covid to make it look genuine. They are hoping it disappears for roughly 20 years and they will deal with it then if they have to but they are hoping that raising the population to 10m primarily with africans will drown the whole lot out. In regards to disease x, it does exist and it comes from zuckerbergs labs. He injected it into a load of deer and the desired effects were confirmed. The question is when are they going to release it. The symptoms did look horrible on the deers with their eyes turned white and acting like zombies. It was nuts.
Ireland just copying other liberal “utopias ” We love copying them …
Those of us who are angry over this should complain to the president of the medical Council about himself. Show him we are opposed to it. I will complain anyway.
All part of the demonic agenda that is abroad in the world today.
Typo in last line. Bishop of Elphin is a man.
The removal of the ban on cloning is the most worrisome part to my mind. There are companies gearing up to build ‘baby factories’ , and the WEF are openly promoting the merging of technology with humans. As they are also openly calling most of us ‘useless eaters’ I dread to imagine what they have in mind……
Yikes, the Australian version of Harold shipman, (probably the biggest serial killer in the world) is here in Dublin. They call him Doctor death for gods sake. It’s on sky news
‘Dr Death’ and the poison sellers: How ‘vulnerable’ people are being ‘groomed’ for suicide
‘Dr Death’ and the poison sellers: How ‘vulnerable’ people are being ‘groomed’ for suicide
What a load of profanity profanity profanity. A member of a paedophile protection ring (aka the catholic church) tries to tell people what good ethics are. His ethics are based solely on a book that endorses slavery (among other things) and protection of the “almightly” church above all else. My rights to access abortion or euthanasia (killing myself by medical means) do not impact your rights not to undergo such treatments.
It is only correct the opinion of a christian clergyman and the “faith” he spouts are treated without respect, just as the faith and opinion of non-christian person (muslum, hindu, atheist) should equally be not respected. Show why abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage are ethically bad, and not because some holey book or person says so, and people may side with said views.
Just because most of the tax base is christian does not mean the spoutings of christians are correct or incorrect. Things should be done that are right/correct/ethically not what is popular. Thankfully even though a large majority of our country still has their children baptised, the church is loosing it’s power and being forced to change and update it’s ethics.
Gay marraige, abortion are now legal, against the wishes of the catholic church. Soon hopefully so will be euthanasia be legal and a new definition of family will be input into the constitution. And maybe in the future, if we are lucky, religion ethos will be removed from schools and maybe all religions will loose their automatic tax free status and have to publicly report finances to entitle them to charity status.
Get yourself euthanized out of the way.
Lovely attitude from a caring loving human. Hang your head in shame. Try address the points you don’t agree with instead being a horrible individual, or choose not to comment on it. I don’t agree with Joe on his opinion about euthanasia, or his wish to have religion removed from schools, but he’s entitled to his opinion without people just being horrible because they disagree. I hope you’re not as horrible to everyone you disagree with, and this was a one off angry statement that you now regret.
Just another Davos order obediently enforced by our treasonous establishment.
