Legislated Euthanasia
There is probably no more important issue in contemporary bioethics or a more serious ethical decision for our parliaments than assisted dying legislation. In public life it is the principles that matter. It is a mistake for legislators to act on the deeply held emotional concerns when that involves crossing a threshold that will affect the entire society in perpetuity.
‘Once you legislate you cross the Rubicon. The cause for euthanasia has been made in a very emotional way and this is the latest expression of individual autonomy as an underlying principle. But the sick, the elderly, the disabled, the chronically ill and the dying must never be made to feel they are a burden.’
