WARNING: Greens would legalise euthanasia for terminally-ill adults

Family First Comment: Yet another reason to keep the Greens away from any form of power.
The Green Party says it will legalise medically-assisted dying if in Government.
It is the first political party to formally adopt a voluntary euthanasia policy in its manifesto.

“I am pleased that one of my final acts as an MP … is to launch this policy, which will allow people to choose to die with dignity,” he said.

“Political timidity” was holding up reform in this area, he said.
