Regjeringen på New Zealand har åpnet for at covid-syke med dårlige utsikter til å overleve kan få assistert selvmord. Dette er en utvidelse av en eutanasi-lov fra år 2000.

New Zealand claimed that “in some circumstances a person with COVID-19 may be eligible for assisted dying,” according to a report from the Catholic Herald. In 2019, they had passed the End of Life Choice Act, which is one of the most extreme euthanasia laws on the planet.

The law allows anyone with a life expectancy of fewer than six months, or who are “suffering unbearably,” to be allowed assisted suicide in as little as four days. The law was ratified in 2020.

Redaktøren for en nettside som er anti-eutanasi ba helsedepartementet svare på om covid var grunn nok til eutanasi. Redaktøren så en fare for at man under en smittetopp kunne bruke assistert selvmord for å lette trykket på helsevesenet.

“It would not be hard to envisage a situation in which a speedy and sizeable rise in COVID-19 hospitalisations could result in pressure to utilise euthanasia and assisted suicide as tools to resolve such a serious crisis,” Kloosterboer said.

Kloosterboer added that the legalization of euthanasia “has now made the COVID-19 pandemic potentially even more dangerous for the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.”

Leger som sier seg villig til å delta i assistert selvmord, får 1000 dollar per drap. Men bare 96 av 16.000 leger har sagt seg villig.
