PROTECT! Do It Today – Make a Submission with our easy how-to guide

They say that euthanasia is about ‘choice’, ‘human rights’, and ‘autonomy’. But what about the choice and rights and protection and human dignity of the victims of a euthanasia law. To legalise assisted suicide (euthanasia) would place large numbers of vulnerable people at risk – in particular those who are depressed, elderly, sick, disabled, those experiencing chronic illness, limited access to good medical care, and those who feel themselves to be under emotional or financial pressure to request early death. And there’s stacks of evidence of this from overseas where assisted suicide is allowed.
