Abstract:
This article seeks to outline the law relating to euthanasia and assisted-suicide in New Zealand, and to critically examine whether there are any practical justifications for retaining the current prohibition. The paper initially discusses terminology, then what is and what is not permissible in New Zealand under the present legal regime. The paper then very briefly reviews the other jurisdictions which have euthanasia or assisted-suicide laws. Finally, the paper looks at the practical arguments for and against reform.
