Terminally Ill Patients Choosing to Die Out of Hopelessness, Abandonment: Queensland Doctors

Terminally Ill Patients Choosing to Die Out of Hopelessness, Abandonment: Queensland Doctors Queensland’s peak medical association has warned that terminally ill patients choose to “take poison” and die out of hopelessness or abandonment. The Australian Medical Association Queensland (AMAQ) said patients were less likely to agree to euthanasia if better palliative care options were on the table. The president of the AMAQ issued the stinging rebuke in the lead up to the state Parliament’s impending vote on euthanasia this week. Dr. Chris Perry said the euthanasia experience in Victoria, Canada, and Oregon in the United States one of the earliest jurisdictions to legalise the practice saw many candidates choose euthanasia because they felt trapped or incapacitated.

Swiss assisted dying clinic inundated with Qlders

  Queenslanders desperate for a painless death have turned to Switzerland s world-renowned assisted-dying clinic ahead of the state considering similar end-of-life laws. Pegasos, a voluntary assisted dying clinic based in the northern Swiss town of Basel, is receiving almost daily inquiries from Queenslanders considering their deaths. The clinic, which opened in 2019, has received more inquiries from people in Queensland than any other state in Australia. Pegasos spokeswoman Fiona Stewart said the clinic recorded a growing number of referrals from Australia. Pegasos has regular weekly, sometimes daily, inquiries from folk in Queensland, she said. People are not necessarily looking to Pegasos to die, but they are looking for choice.
