Petition request

That the House of Representatives repeal the End of Life Choice Act 2019.

Petition reason

We believe: it is a violation of the law of God and the fifth commandment that “you shall not kill” for a health professional to kill their patient with a lethal injection or to assist in their suicide; the Act violates the Government’s excellent Suicide Prevention Strategy; it was passed in a referendum that I believe was influenced by misinformation on medical treatment that was already legal; terminating the lives of patients is not necessary as NZ has excellent hospices and palliative care.
