Description
Over two decades of Dutch experience with voluntary assisted dying can inform deliberations about the nature of a regulatory framework in Australian jurisdictions.
This article considers three issues from this perspective:
1. Whether the Government permit required in Victoria prior to providing voluntary assisted dying is defensible
2. Whether the Victorian preference for self-administration over practitioner administration is sound
3. The need for transparency about how voluntary assisted dying systems operate including research.
