An Open Letter to New Zealanders

Doctors want no part in assisted suicide

We are committed to the concept of death with dignity and comfort, including the provision of effective pain relief and excellence in palliative care.

Doctors want no part in assisted suicide

We are committed to the concept of death with dignity and comfort, including the provision of effective pain relief and excellence in palliative care.

We endorse the views of the World Medical Association and the New Zealand Medical Association that physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia are unethical, even if they were made legal.

We uphold the right of patients to decline treatment, as set out in the NZ Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights.

We know that the proper provision of pain relief, even if it may unintentionally hasten the death of the patient, is ethical and legal. Equally the withdrawal or withholding of futile treatment in favour of palliative care is ethical and legal.

We believe that crossing the line to intentionally assist a person to die would fundamentally weaken the doctor-patient relationship which is based on trust and respect.

We are especially concerned with protecting vulnerable people who can feel they have become a burden to others, and we are committed to supporting those who find their own life situations a heavy burden.

Doctors are not necessary in the regulation or practice of assisted suicide. They are included only to provide a cloak of medical legitimacy. Leave doctors to focus on saving lives and providing real care to the dying.

Join us
If you are a New Zealand doctor and would like to add your name to this Open Letter, please email sineadmairedonnelly@gmail.com with your name, qualifications and Medical Council registration number.

‘Doctors say no’ is an Open Letter to all New Zealanders by doctors supporting the World Medical Association and New Zealand Medical Association position statements that euthanasia and assisted suicide are unethical, even if they were to become legal. doctorssayno.nz...

Vote safe quiz

We all want compassion, dignity and choice
But is a potentially unsafe law good enough?
From 3-17 October, we are all asked to vote in a binding referendum for or against the End of Life Choice Act. We’re being asked to vote on a specific law (not whether or not we agree with the ‘concept’ of assisted dying). This means that every New Zealander is expected to ‘think like a lawyer’ to understand the implications of this specific law when they vote.

Votesafe.nz will help you know what the Act says – and importantly, what it doesn’t say, before you vote. Take the quick quiz to see how much you know about what you're being asked to vote on. Click on this link : www.votesafe.nz...
