Euthanasia background paper

Euthanasia is an updated background paper by Gareth Griffith and Lenny Roth of the NSW Parliamentary Library.  In light of the recent introduction of the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill in NSW, this paper examines recent cases in Australia, proposed reforms and recommendations in selected jurisdictions, especially South Australia, Tasmania and the United Kingdom.  Sections on Canada and New Zealand are also included, with reference to recent journal articles and media reports.
