End of Life Act: Referendum

After the discussion about the Cannabis and about legalizing it we then move on to the next referendum that is being issued in these times. Which is the 'End of Life Act', a bill that legalizes assisted suicide? However, there are a lot of criteria that are needed to be accomplished for it to be approved, an example, a person should suffer from a terminal illness and are likely to die in 6 months.  There are many more strict criteria to be approved of this, as this choice is indeed a very serious one as it relates to the wellbeing and life of a person.
The debate caused many to criticize this as it could go against many of the values and religion of the people that live in New Zealand. However, I believe that this bill should be passed on as a law. Though again, respecting the values and religion of people is fundamental, however, these values and beliefs are not for all people. It should be taken into consideration the amount and the other of the population that is suffering from such pain. They should not be robbed of their choice for their lives. As it has been said, these beliefs and values should be taken with a grain of salt. As there are also positives for the bill, again as mentioned it gives you a choice about your life and how it ends; as well as not needing to prolong the suffering of a person or persons. We should consider the lives of people, more especially their decision about their own lives.
