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.

Can I suggest to our Prime Minister that for all his outrage over Christine Holgateâs spend, $20,000 is just a drop in the ocean when compared to his governments misuse of taxpayersâ money (âGovernment hits back at Holgateâs claims over exitâ, April 15)? Where does one start: the Christmas Island reopening photo opportunity; the $50 million spent on keeping the Murugappan family incarcerated on said island; the sports rorts scandal; the robodebts repayments; the community grants program; the repeated inquiries, investigations and finally a royal commission into age care; and the multiple positions on climate change?
