EuthaNEWSia

Terri Bradley says that when the pain and indignity of her chronic illnesses become too much, she will end her life. "It is our life, our choice … no one should be able to say you can't go when you want, it is not right.""

She spoke with a Tweed Daily News reporter at a seminar run by Dr. Philip Nitschke. "However, as Dr Nitschke told about 100, mostly elderly, people at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre, Ms Bradley would have to die alone and in private, for if her friends or family were part of any voluntary euthanasia in New South Wales, they would risk 20 years in jail."
