I need to be completely open here before posting. I in no way deny my bias that I agree with the choice to just be put me out of my misery if you are screwed and it will take a while, while the only thing giving you a semblance of consciousness is morphine


Get other people disagree though. Have no idea what it has to do with them. But get it.

eSixty-six people have been helped to die in NZ since euthanasia law change

Sixty-six​ people have been helped to die since it was made legal in New Zealand in November, with most of those choosing to do so in their home.

From November 7​, when the End of Life Choice Act came into force, and March 31​ this year, 206 people have applied to end their lives, according to Ministry of Health statistics.
