Regulating voluntary assisted dying in Australia : some insights from the Netherlands

Article indépendant

ONWUTEAKA-PHILIPSEN, Bregje | WILLMOTT, Lindy | WHITE, Ben P.

The Victorian Voluntary Assisted Dying Act 2017 (VAD Act), which commenced on 19 June 2019, permits voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in limited circumstances in Victoria. In addition to Victoria, the Western Australian government is currently developing its own VAD legislation, and Parliamentary committees have been established in Queensland and South Australia to consider reform. Although repeated attempts to reform the law have been generally unsuccessful, it now appears legislation may be more likely to pass. [Début de l'article]
