The Sydney Telegraph (January 8, 2013) reports: Independent MP Bob Such has drafted a revised voluntary euthanasia bill after his previous attempt was voted down in State Parliament mid-last year.
The Ending Life With Dignity Bill 2013 would establish a board of about eight government-appointed members, including medical and legal practitioners and representatives of church groups, palliative carers, disability services and voluntary euthanasia advocates.
The board would keep a register of voluntary euthanasia orders and produce an annual report. The Bill would apply to people who are terminally ill and whose pain cannot be relieved.
