Sterbehilfe, Euthanasie, Patientenrechte
Gesetze und rechtliche Regelungen
1995 wurde in den Northern Territories der ärztlich assistierte
Suizid legalisiert und 1997 durch ein Bundesgesetz wieder verboten. 2005 wurde
die Verbreitung von Suizidinformationen durch ein Bundesgesetz verboten.
Die Staaten und Territorien haben Patientenrechte, Patientenverfügung und
rechtliche Betreuung unterschiedlich geregelt.
Beim Bundesparlament sind Sterbehilfe, Pflege und Rechte älterer Menschen
Thema.
Das Gesundheitsministerium ist auch für Fragen des Alterns zuständig.
Informationen zur Vorsorgeplanung (Advance Care Planning) und den rechtliche Regelungen der Staaten und
Territorien werden von mehreren Organisationen gesammelt. Die Alzheimer
Gesellschaft informiert ausführlich.
Es gibt sieben Sterbehilfeorganisationen, die sich für die Legalisierung
verbotener Sterbehilfe einsetzen.
