VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA

The Hon. I. HUNTER: Presented a petition signed by 453 residents of South Australia concerning voluntary euthanasia and requesting that the council will support the Voluntary Euthanasia Bill 2006 to enable law reform in South Australia to give citizens the right to choose voluntary euthanasia for themselves. Such legislation, if enacted, would contain stringent safeguards against misuse of the provisions of the act.
