Euthanasia Amendment Bill Threatens Conscience Rights
from Maxim Institute Podcast Hosted by Maxim Institute Podcast
Should ease of access to euthanasia take precedence over medical practitioners’ conscience rights? Should care facilities such as hospices and rest homes be required to allow euthanasia on site—even if that conflicts with their founding ethos? In this episode, Ethos Alliance CEO Alex Penk discusses these questions with Maryanne Spurdle, Maxim’s Research Manager. As the End of Life Choice Amendment Bill sits in Parliament’s “biscuit tin,” Alex explains the ways it conflicts with both the New Zealand Bill of Rights and a 2020 High Court judgment.
