Todd Stephenson: ACT MP on his member's bill that would improve and extend the End of Life Choice Act

An ACT MP is looking to improve and extend the End of Life Choice Act.  Todd Stephenson has proposed a member’s bill that would incorporate all 25 of the recommendations made by the Ministry of Health in their review of the Act.   He wants to restore the original intent of David Seymour’s earlier bill, addressing the “overly restrictive” six-month prognosis requirement.   Stephenson told Kerre Woodham some elements of the Act are working really well, but there are others, such as the six-month requirement, that aren’t working and aren’t taking into account some people’s circumstances.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
