I am a lawyer in Washington State USA where assisted suicide is legal. Last year, I presented as an expert
on assisted suicide to a Victoria Parliamentary Committee in Oregon
USA. I am writing to urge you to vote "No" on the proposed euthanasia
bill, which allows non-voluntary deaths for non-dying people.
Specific problems:
1. Patient protections are unenforceable due to the bill's "accordance" language;
2. Assisting persons can have an agenda, for example, to obtain an inheritance, or in the case of a doctor, to obtain cover for medical error.
3. The bill allows the death to occur in private without witnesses. If the patient objected, or even struggled, who would know?
