Queensland MPs debate over controversial voluntary assisted dying bill | ABC News
Показать описание
Queensland MPs have fought back tears, detailed personal stories and revealed the "exhausting" experience of weighing up opposing views ahead of a vote on proposed laws to legalise voluntary assisted dying (VAD) in Queensland.
State Parliament has begun debating the bill, which would give a person who is suffering and dying and meets strict eligibility criteria the option to seek medical assistance to end their life.
If it passes, Queensland will become the fifth state to legalise voluntary assisted dying.
Both major parties — Labor and the Liberal National Party — have granted their MPs a conscience vote on the bill.
