Health minister mulls euthanasia safe-access zones
The moves comes after protesters targeted patients at a cancer hospital
16th April 2019
Safe-access zones, like those around abortion clinics, could be introduced to prevent anti-euthanasia protesters harassing patients and their families outside hospitals.
The measure was floated after a group of protesters targeted cancer patients outside Melbourne’s Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre last week, handing out leaflets warning of “doctor-prescribed suicides and state-sanctioned extra-judicial executions”.
