Bishops’ MPs plea: spare the suffering
NSW Catholic Bishops have called on State parliamentarians to reject moves to allow doctors to administer lethal drugs to the terminally ill, saying legal euthanasia would bring pressure to bear upon vulnerable people to ‘volunteer’ for early death.
Last week Greens MP Cate Faehrmann introduced the Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill 2013 which would legalise euthanasia in NSW.
In a letter signed by the Archbishop of Sydney, George Cardinal Pell, on behalf of the NSW bishops, the Euthanasia Bill is described as “unsafe and unnecessary”.
“Despite talk of ‘dignified death’, dignity is not served by telling the old and dying, through our laws, that they would be better off dead and we would also be better off if they were dead,” it said.
