  • That we support the End of Life Bill

    Infoslide

    New Zealanders are currently voting on a referendum as to whether they support the End of Life Choice Bill. The Bill would create a regime for assisted suicide. It is tightly restricted: the person must suffer from a terminal illness that is likely to end their life within six months, have significant and ongoing decline in physical capability, experience unbearable suffering that cannot be eased, and be able to make an informed decision about assisted dying. A person would not be able to choose assisted dying if their reason for the choice is mental illness, nor if their reason is because of a disability, nor if their reason is simply that they’re old. Requests must come from the individual (they do not have to consult with their family). A person’s doctor and an independent doctor must agree that the person meets all the criteria. If either doctor is unsure of the person’s ability to make that decision, a psychiatrist needs to assess the person.

  • This house supports filial responsibility law

    Infoslide

    Filial responsibility law obliges adult children to pay for their indigent parents’/relatives' food, clothing, shelter and medical needs. Should the children fail to provide adequately, they allow nursing homes and government agencies to bring legal action to recover the cost of caring for the parents. Adult children can even go to jail in some states if they fail to provide filial support.
