We do not let dogs and horses suffer as we allow humans to suffer The law on the rights of the terminally ill that existed in the Northern Territory worked well. The law gave people the right to die, by making voluntary euthanasia legal under strictly limited circumstances.
Urgent support
We support people facing the end of life and promote choice at that time; we don’t provide information about methods of ending life. For urgent support, Samaritans are on 116 123, free, day or night. Breathing Space is on 0800 83 85 87. For questions about your own care, your GP or palliative care team is the right first call.
