Wananga: Do You Support the End of Life Act?

Hi there!
Today I will be writing about the End of Life Act, one of two questions from the upcoming Referendum in New Zealand. 

Do you support the End of Life Act?

Because this is a public blog, I don't feel comfortable sharing my stance on the question on the Internet. 

However, I will share some information on the matter to help you, the reader develop an opinion. 

3 Pros

  • You are the only person who can decide if you want to die.
  • There are 4 different ways you can die
  • A person must be 18 years of age or older
3 Cons
  • If you are just visiting New Zealand then you aren't eligible for assisted dying. 
  • A person who is unable to make their mind up because they aren't mentally well they won't be allowed assisted death.
  • A person can ask to be assisted with dying but the doctors are the ones who decide if they are eligible. 
Here is a link to the End of Life Act website: End of Life Act Referendum

Thanks for reading!
