Voluntary euthanasia, dying with dignity, physician-assisted suicide — whatever you call it, between 75% and 85% of Australians support it.

Politicians from the old parties are quick to run and hide from this issue, but I'm standing up for voluntary euthanasia.  Because it's something I've always strongly supported, it's something that matters to me, and it's what matters to an overwhelming majority of Australians.

And it's about the freedom for someone to have a full range of choices: from palliative care, to a dignified and peaceful death.
