Voluntary euthanasia may soon become law in South Australia after the Death with Dignity Bill passed its second reading on Wednesday.


O le Voluntary euthanasia, le faamutaina o le ola o se tagata ua ui sona gasegase ma ua tigaina, o se solitulafono i Ausetalia nei.

 

Peita'i e ono tuleia e le palemene Setete o South Australia le mataupu.

 

E le o le palemene Setete muamua lenei ua iloiloina le mataupu, e le o le taimi muamua foi lenei ua faaulu ai le pelemene o South Australia le mataupu - ua faa 15 ona tagofia e sui o le palemene o SA le mau i le voluntary euthanasia.....

 

O le tina o Judith King e aumau i Adelaide, ma e fiafia e malaga i fafo, ma mafana le mafutaga ma lona aiga.

 

O Judith King e aafia i le gasegase o le multi-system atrophy, (AT-tro-fee) o se gasegase e leai sona togafitiga ma e tiga ma matuia ona auga...

 

KING

 

"You want every bit of life that you can squeeze out of it. I want to see my little nine-year-old granddaughter have a child of her own."

 

Ona o le tiga tele ma le feagai i aso uma ma mafatiaga o le tino ma le mafaufau, na saunoa Judith King, le iai o le saolotoga e filifili ai se tagata ua ui sona gasegase e faamuta lona ola, o se faaiuga e tala feagai.

 

E le o mautinoa pe faia sana faaiuga e talia le voluntary euthanasia a faamalolo ai o ia mai ona mafatiaga, ae taua le iai o sona saolotoga e faia ai lana filifiliga...

 

 

Ae iai sui o loo tetee malosi i le tulafono.

 

E pei o Brian Macintosh.

 

MACINTOSH

 

"You know, I don't understand the morality that says killing is okay."

 

E tele vaega o se tulafono faapenei e tatau ona matua manino. E pei o le fesili poo ai tagata e tala feagai ona latou faia se faaiuga e faamuta ai lona ola. O le taimi nei o loo faatitino le vaai a le tulafono i tagata ua ui se gasegase ma ua tigaina i tiga..

 

E le aafia ai tagata ua matutua, iai mana'oga faapitoa poo se gasegase o le mafaufau.

 

E tatau ona malamalama le mafaufau o lea tagata ma e toalua ni foma'i e iloiloina lana talosaga mo le voluntary euthanasia.

 

E iai atunuu o le lalolagi ua pasia ai ma faatinoina ai le faamutaina o le ola o se tagata ua ui sona gasegase.

 

Ua faatulafonoina i le Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Switzerland.

O loo iai le popolega i le faatonu o le Right to Life Australia, Margaret Tighe (tie) a faatulafonoina i SA, e ono sosolo i isi Setete ma Teritori ma e iai se taimi o le a faigofie ona faamuta le ola o se tagata ma vaivai puipuiga o le tulafono....

 

TIGHE

 

"Cross ... cross the line, and you give to a certain group of people in the community the power to kill others, you will find the category of killable patients will gradually escalate."
