Health Australia’s answer: No, but they should be allowed to refuse artificial life support "The HAP is very wary of the S tate and medical professionals deciding when a life has lost its value. HAP ultimately supports ‘informed consent’ and believes that when a person is dying they should have the right to decide whether or not to artificially continue their life, or allow the dying process to take its natural course. HAP does not profess to have all the answers in this complex issue, and would need to see rob ust processes in place to ensure that patient decisions are indeed being made without influence or coercion from relatives, medical professionals, or others. However the HAP believes that all citizens deserve the right to high quality palliative care to g ive them genuine options in their final days, and that Australians should be supported to spend their final days at home with their loved ones if this is possible and requested."Source
