Since November 2021 terminally ill New Zealanders have had the right to seek a medically assisted death, provisioned by the End of Life Choice Act. Since then, from more than 1400 applicants, 565 people have had an assisted death. Not everyone with a terminal illness meets the criteria, but for those who do, researchers say access can be difficult to navigate. The Ministry of Health is required to review the law in November next year. Dr Jessica Young, a sociologist and senior research fellow at Victoria University, is leading a team of researchers examining the experiences of people who are using the assisted dying pathways. And fellow team member Dr Jeanne Snelling, a senior law lecturer at the University of Otago, is zeroing in on legal aspects of the legislation.
