Canada is currently considering expanding the scheme to include mental illness after a temporary moratorium ends in March 2024.
The NSW euthanasia scheme will come into effect on 28 November, and the NT and ACT are preparing their own bills after enabling legislation was passed by Canberra in December 2022.
Right to Life Australia CEO Mary Collier says scope creep “bit by bit” will be a reality in Australia, citing calls to expand existing euthanasia schemes through telehealth.
“The other factor is that there are so many societal problems now where people are felling lonely, are feeling like a burden—all of these things are contributing,” Mrs Collier said.
“This encourages people to feel as if, ‘Well I’m a burden on the health system.’ Or, ‘I’m a burden on my family.’ Or, ‘My family really need some money now.’
“There are so many more other influences that can push for expansion.”
Right to Life Australia’s National Conference in Melbourne on 11 November will host several medical and academic professionals speaking on pro-life topics.
Associate Professor Dr Marion Harris will address the similarities between the Australian and Canadian contexts.
Dr Harris works as a medical oncologist in the public health system in Victoria, which legalised euthanasia one year after Canada.
Because Victoria was the first Australian jurisdiction to make euthanasia legal, and was “quite rigid and narrowly won” the state is “under pressure to amend its laws” from more permissive schemes proposed in other jurisdictions, like the ACT, which is seeking to allow euthanasia without life expectancy criteria.

another good post elee..... are you ok?

Right to Life means they want to control other peoples' rights.

instead of wanting to limit and important decision over ones' own life the Right to Lifers might consider their right to push their opinion to ban such services that others consider ethically right to be made available.

I've listened to these debates over 40 years in my profession. Doctors opinions are as wide ranging as any other sector of the community. they all put well-researched and informed opinions. both pro-VAD and anti-VAD. and sure there are real concerns that some may be pushed by others to "kill off" old nanna.

but it comes down to each person has the right to decide for themselves. no right to lifer should be enabled to destroy others' freedoms to decide for themselves.
