Euthanasia is now legal: This is the story of a patient preparing to die
Margaret Radmore is terminally ill - she is one of the first patients to apply to the scheme
This week, Australian Doctor is publishing the personal stories of those who will be involved in Victoria’s voluntary assisted dying scheme.
Its launch on Wednesday is a historic moment, a vast ethical step for the medical profession and a step taken in few other countries around the world.
Below we hear from Margaret Radmore, a 60-year-old retired nurse who has been given 12 months to live after being diagnosed with bowel cancer, which has spread to her liver.
The mother-of-two from Inverloch, in Victoria, will be one of the first to access the scheme after stopping all treatment in March.
