Should terminally ill patients be allowed to end their lives via assisted suicide?
Euthanasia, the practice of ending a life prematurely in order to end pain and suffering, is currently considered a criminal offense. Euthanasia is currently illegal in Australia. In 1995 the Northern Territory passed a bill legalizing euthanasia but it was overturned by the federal government in 1998 under the Australian Capital Territory Act.

No; assisted suicide is a permanent decision that places already vulnerable individuals; the elderly; terminally ill; mentally ill; the disabled; and others, in a situation to be exploited, which denies one the ability to live their natural life to completion, with dignity, in whatever stage of life they may be. Moreover, increased government funding and investment for health services; palliative care; psychiatric care; general practice; and healthcare overall, is what is truly needed.
