Submissions to the Health Select Committee on End of Life Choice close on 1 February 2016 – only a week away. Making a submission doesn't need to take long, but it's important that there is an adequate number of supportive submissions to balance those that are in opposition.

Here is a simple statement to base your submission on. PLEASE ADAPT this suggestion using your own words, or add a personal statement. NB. If a number of submissions are exactly the same, they may all be discounted.

​I strongly believe that I and other people have a right of CHOICE about significant events in my life and therefore I totally support the legalisation of assisted dying for people who have terminal illnesses or whose irreversible conditions make their life unbearable.​.
