Louise Duffy: Daughter of Barbie Duffy on trying to get euthanasia directives entrenched into our law

Hopes for big changes to our laws to ensure New Zealanders aren't kept alive against their wishes. While assisted dying is legal, advance care plans for patients don't have to be followed, meaning people can't request to be euthanised should they later suffer an irreversible loss to their capacities. That's what happened to Barbie Duffy. She then took matters into her own hands, and died after nearly two months of declining food, and then water. Her daughter, Louise Duffy told Mike Hosking she's launched a petition to allow people the right to create a legally binding effective care plan. She doesn't believe there's a wide understanding of the issue. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
