Wellington Regional Coroner Ian Smith calling for Parliament to make up its mind about euthanasia after an elderly woman chose to suffocate herself with a handmade contraption in her Lower Hutt home.
In his report, Mr Smith calls for Parliament to confront the issue of euthanasia – a topic that has long been dodged.
“Once again this death raises the vexed issue of euthanasia and, as I have recorded in past cases, this process simply will not go away, and it will be necessary for Parliament to address this matter yet again.”
