No To Assisted Suicide
The Queensland Labor Government has tabled a "voluntary assisted dying" Bill which is really an assisted suicide Bill which is due to be debated and voted in September.
It is a very dangerous Bill which would lead to extra deaths in Queensland every year.
Including people who would have wrongfully accessed assisted suicide because of wrong diagnosis, wrong prognosis, coercion, elder abuse, untreated mental anguish, or because they had little or no access to palliative care specialists and felt they had no other choice. There's also grave concerns, that like Victoria, there would be an increase in non-assisted suicide rates because of a suicide cognation effect that often accompanies euthanasia or assisted suicide being legalised.
It order to save lives we must do everything we can to stop this Bill passing.
The Health Committee needs to hear from you today, your submission doesn't have to be long! But please be quick, as submissions close 9am, Friday 2 July.
*Please be sure to make it clear you are opposed to the Bill.*

Thank you.
