She served as chairman of the Dutch Voluntary Euthanasia Association from 1981 to 1985, and has also served as chairman of the Alzheimer's Council of the Netherlands; she cites the death of her first husband from dementia in her support of voluntary euthanasia. After her time as chair, Dupuis became a professor of medicine and ethics at Leiden University beginning in 1986. In 1991, her title changed to Professor of Medical Ethics, a position she served at alongside her political career until 2003, when she became professor emeritus. Dupuis's political career began in 1999 when she was named to the Senate as a member of the VVD. She served as vice-chair of the Senate from 2007 to 2011. Her focuses as a Senator were on public healthcare and higher education, in particular wanting the budget moved from healthcare to education, as well as a focus on stricter ethics in medicine. She served as a Senator until 2015, when the VVD lost three seats, including hers; she served in an advisory role in healthcare insurance discussions after leaving the Senate. (en)
