End of life choice Referendum
What is the end of life choice about:
This basically gives a person over the age of 18 that has a terminal illness and a certain amount of time to live the option of assisted death, so if they are in to much pain and just don't want to suffer anymore they can choose to end their life peacefully and painless.
What is the criteria to have the option of assisted death:
To be eligible for assisted death you need to be 18 years or older, be a permanent citizen of New Zealand, suffer from a terminal illness that's likely to end your life within 6 months, have ongoing decline in physical capability, experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased, and be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying.
Positives and negatives:
The positives that I can think of is they get to stop their suffering and be at peace, they don't have to live the rest of their life worrying about when they might die, they know when they are gonna die.
Negatives - The negatives are that some doctors don't feel comfortable with this because they want to save lives not end them.
Do I support this or not?
Yes I support this I feel like if this person really wants this then its what's best for them its their choice and it end suffering.
