Child euthanasia speech 2014

On 10 April 2014 I moved that the Legislative Council:

  • Condemn the practice of child euthanasia;

  • Commend palliative care as an appropriate response to terminal and chronic illness;

  • Affirm the value of every human life including those with mental illness or disability; and

  • Endorse suicide prevention as the appropriate response to all those who for whatever reason may think life is not worth living.
