Last month, ACT MP Todd Stephenson accepted a petition from advocates who believe it is wrong that someone with a terminal illness cannot choose assisted dying simply because the illness may not end their life within six months. This week, he lodged a Member's Bill to fix this issue so that more terminally ill Kiwis will have the choice to die with dignity, surrounded by loved ones at a time and place that suits them.

Assisted dying should be lawful because it respects individuals' autonomy and dignity, allowing them to have control over their own end-of-life decisions. For terminally ill patients experiencing unbearable suffering, the option of assisted dying provides a compassionate choice to end their lives peacefully and with dignity, sparing them prolonged agony. Legalizing assisted dying also ensures proper safeguards and regulations, preventing misuse and ensuring that the decision is made voluntarily, with full awareness and consent. It acknowledges the reality that some medical conditions are beyond cure and offers a humane solution for those who wish to avoid unnecessary suffering. #dyingmatters #deathwithdignity #assisteddying #righttodie #endoflife
