By an overwhelming majority the Queensland Parliament has voted to legalise voluntary assisted dying for people with a terminal illness. Queensland is the fifth jurisdiction in Australia to do so. The vote once more reflects the majority Australian opinion on the subject. There was fierce opposition from religious groups, and some conservative sections of the community, including some MP's. At the eleventh hour parliamentary opponents tried to thwart the legislation by introducing meaningless amendments, but to no avail, common sense, and the will of the people prevailed.

Paul,
Agree entirely; as it is no longer illegal to end one’s life then it should not be illegal to seek assistance to end it.
I have made sure that if I wish to end my life then I have the means to so with no mess for one should have consideration for others as well.

Dear Paul,

I also full support assisted dying for the terminally
ill. There are enough safeguards in place for this
to be done with compassion and care.

Assisted dying does have a better ring to it than mercy killing !

Pauliar,

Your ability to pontificate on subjects about which you are ignorant is legendary.

Some of the amendments proposed were by people that support assisted dying but were concerned about stipulations that overrode the rights of institutions and doctors that did not support assisted dying that even despotic Dan in Victoria did not include.
