Push for euthanasia law reform in Victoria - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Push for euthanasia law reform in Victoria - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation): The Greens MP Colleen Hartland plans to introduce a motion to the the Upper House of Parliament seeking a review of the 22 year old Medical Treatment Act. Her motion focuses on end-of-life treatment and palliative care, and will ask whether the Act meets contemporary expectations and prevents suffering.

Editor: If this is all she's asking, it's not euthanasia in the sense of 'causing death.'

The lobby group Dying with Dignity Victoria says more than 80 percent of people support the right of terminally ill people to die peacefully with medical assistance.

Editor: This would be causing death and is immoral.
