New Zealand's assisted dying law is reaching its third anniversary and its first mandated review.
As of late this week, a total of 964 people have died by legally sanctioned euthanasia — about one New Zealander every day.
Q+A took a look at the issues around the the End of Life Choice Act this week.
ACT MP Todd Stephenson has introduced a members bill that would remove a requirement that a terminally ill patient has less than six months to live in order to be eligible for an assisted death. He spoke to Q+A about his legislation.
