Yet in mid-September, Queensland Parliament will debate whether citizens of the walled state should have the right to voluntary assisted dying, or euthanasia as its critics call it. If the conscience vote passes, Young will presumably have to get comfortable with the idea that some Queenslanders, whose lives she could have prolonged by weeks or even months, will die.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said she was not comfortable with any deaths from COVID-19.In Western Australia, eligible people have been able to access voluntary assisted dying since the first of July. The irony of the “My Life, My Choice” banners waved by the celebrating campaigners appears to have eluded jailer-in-chief Mark McGowan.
Many doctors are, like Queensland Chief Health Officer Young, opposed to the idea of precipitating death. They point to the incredible advances in palliative care as a better alternative. Retired palliative care specialist Dr Philip Lee says that many patients when they are first diagnosed worry they will be a burden on their families and ask if they can just end it.

parnellpalme How long till depression is a path to euthanasia? I understand the basis of the argument, reduce suffering. But making this a law is NOT a step forward, but a step backwards. My mother had her plug pulled in 1981. Decision made by my Dad & her mother, why hand decision to govt?
