End of life choice referendum
If the End of Life Choice Act passes into law following the September referendum Hospice Mid-Northland will conscientiously object as an organization to providing euthanasia. We have taken this position because we fully support the philosophy of Hospice to aim to neither hasten nor postpone death and we believe that euthanasia does not have a place in palliative care. we believe with good support people can live well until they die, and their family and whanau can be an important part of this time and need support also.
As the election referendum approaches we want to assist people with understanding our position on the End of Life Act and our concerns.
It is important to acknowledge your vote is not about the concept of euthanasia. Your vote is about whether this Act is the best possible legislation to keep people safe.
No matter the result, hospice will continue to support people regardless of their desire for euthanasia. This is a complex, emotional and challenging topic and we acknowledge the range of individual opinions that exist.
